Korshov is the English transliteration of the Ukrainian village Коршoв in the Cyrillic alphabet, or Коршів in Ukrainian language. Before the second World War this village belonged to Poland and its name was Korszów. Korszów village is situated in Western Ukraine, about 15 km to WSW of Luck, and 72 km to E of Poland’s eastern state boundary. This place lies near the northern scarp of the Volhynia Upland covered with loess. The loess profile exposed and studied in the Korszów village contains the best known, very typical example of the pedocomplex consisting of two paleosols from the Lublin Interglacial (210 000 - 230 000 BP). That is why this pedocomplex was named Korshov, and this name was used in the Ukrainian scientific literature for the first time by Andrey Bogutsky from the National University in L’viv.
