Pakholovitsky’s active cartographic activity occurred during the Polotsk campaign of Stefan Batory in 1579, as a result he created a number of maps and sketches of the fortifications of Polotsk land. He owns: a map of the Polotsk Voivodeship, plans for Russian fortresses (along with Stanislav Sulimovsky) taken by the king, including two detailed plans for the siege of Polotsk .
Maps and plans of Pakholovitsky - one of the first works of military cartography of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Commonwealth , are of great interest to the history of architecture and fortification .
Drawings of Russian fortresses have survived to our days thanks to the engravings made by them by J. B. Cavalieri in Rome in 1580.
