Thanks Tom (and Glenda?)
Osada is exactly what we are looking for, and hopefully the film will yield a full list. ?Of course, some osadas could have been established after 1921, so the list may not be "final".

Subject: Re: [Kresy-Siberia] Pre-War List of Osada in Kresy
The Skorowidz Miejscowosci Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej has census material from 1921 and provides a listing of locations in eastern Poland in 1921. One of its categories is osada. I doubt that this is the same as what you're seeking. It may be useful though. It is available from the LDS library, film # 804242. It provides only population totals, with gender, ethnic, and religious breakdowns in Polish. No data for individuals or families are given in the film.

Greetings listers,
Does anyone know whether or not the Government of Poland
ever compiled a complete list of all Kresy osada (settlements)
that were in existence prior to the start of World War II? ?Since
many osada were totally destroyed during the War or by the
Soviets, I would hate to think that there is no official record of
these places. ?It would also be nice to know exactly which
osada were destroyed and which (hopefully) were incorporated
into the villages that they were next to, but I know it would be a
miracle to find this out!
Paul Havers, also a member of our group, has put forth his
best effort as always, and has a list of osada on his Kresy site,
but it is not all inclusive.
It occurred to me that if one does not know which village was
next to the osada or village in question, one may never be
able to locate the place, which is truly horrible. ?I am fortunate
in that I do know the name of the place of my father's birth.
It was Hallerczyn, next to the village of Wysocko, which is near
Brody. ??The Wisniowski and Jesionka families were deported
from Brody on the same day, 10 February 1940. ?Of course,
you all know Stefan Wisniowski, who is the moderator of this
list. ?My grandfather Maksymilian owned the mill in Hallerczyn.
I think Stefan's grandfather was similar to what we call in the
US, the county extension agent. ?His job was to inform local
farmers of the newest methods or to help them with specific
problems related to farming. We both like to think our
grandfathers knew one another, and I am fairly certain that
they did. ?I can imagine Stefan's grandfather asking mine,
"Maks, from what you've seen of the crops, who needs
my help?"
