This article is the attempt of reconstruction of an image of the world of the rural community written down in the geographical names with the cultural motivation. The microtoponymes analysed in the article were collected in Truskolasy next to Częstochowa and neighbouring villages. Use of the image of the world methodology lets the author establish that microtoponymes motivated by the building, agriculture, industry and legal-property relations commemorate the image of the traditional village. Furthermore, the inhabitants of the village set the names of the objects in the history of their region-it shows up their strong relation with the ‘small fatherland.’
