In this work, the collection and analysis of statistical data of the All-Russian Population Census of the Volgograd region for 2002-2010 was carried out and settlements belonging to such categories as disappeared settlements and disappearing settlements (population 0 people) were identified. All the data were entered into a statistical database, which served as the basis for calculating the indicators and displaying them on a cartographic chart. Using the methods of mathematical cartographic modeling: cartogram and cartodiagram, a cartographic diagram of disappeared and disappearing settlements of the Volgograd region for 2002-2010 was built. An analysis of the cartographic scheme was also carried out.
