This study focuses on the analysis of landscape changes in the area of the present Hriňová Water Reservoir from 1764 to the present, using historical maps and GIS tools. By evaluating historical road networks, watercourses, railways, bridges, and culverts, we identified significant changes in land use, particularly during the period before and during the construction of the reservoir (1952–1971). The most notable changes were observed in the lengths of roads, watercourses, and the number of bridges: before the reservoir was built, 13 bridges were recorded in the area, whereas after its construction there were none. The results highlight the substantial human impact on the landscape due to the implementation of the water structure, which today serves as a source of drinking water and represents an important feature within the boundary of the Poľana Biosphere Reserve.
