After close to 4 hours of research I unfortunately could not find a map of Ekaterinburg (which in present day is called Yekaterinburg) Russia in the 1910's. So not being able to find a map of my decade I decided to search for a map of present day and input key historical parts, this didn't seem to work either. After translating various names of streets, historical sites, and suburb names I realized that most if not all of the names of streets and sites were changes after the various revolutions. So what I do have is a list of the various areas in Ekaterinburg that hold a historical importance during the 1910's.
Located in Ekaterinburg
Ipatiev House, "House of Special Purpose" : The final containment facility for the Romanov's. The special purpose it was so called for was the actual slaughter on the member's of the family, their trusted cook, and doctor.
The Novo-Tikhvinsky convent: The nuns who lived here came to the Ipatiev House to leave gifts of cream, eggs, and other food for the Romanov family. The unfortune part though was that most if not all of the food given were eaten by the internal gaurd, or which ever head was in charge at the time.
The Koptyaki Forest: The first burial site of the dead Romanov family.
The Amerikanskaya Hotel: The meeting place for the Ural Regional Soviet as well as the Cheka.
"The Soviet Factories": There were several factories that the Ural Regional Soviet enlisted young men to become part of the Cheka or the internal/external guard around the Ipatiev House.
Outside Ekaterinburg
Petrograd: The city is actually St. Petersburg, but was renamed by Lenin and his 'revolutions'.
The Govenor's house in Tobolsk: This was the second facility of 'house arrest' for the family, and the one they enjoyed the most. They were able to spend outside working with each other which was said to have given them the most happiness.
Alexander Palace, Tsarskoe Selo: The first containment facility of the Romanov family 'house arrest'.
