Been away for a few days and catching up on email.

I agree with Rose.  I have checked a variety of detail maps of the 
region in a variety of time frames including 1803 and have not found 
your village.  It may have been on one of the islands in the Wisla 
River, some of which are now flooded over, or it may be the original 
name for a village that now exists with another name.  For example, 
only Zyck (now Zyck Polskie) appears on the 1803 map.  Later maps add 
Zych Niemieckie (German Zyck) which later became Zyck Nowe (New 
Zyck).  Perhaps Biale Blota was a precursor to Zyck Niemieckie but 
that is only a guess.
