Regional atlases: a summary survey
Ena L. Yonge · 1962
This article provides a systematic summary review of approximately one hundred regional atlases from around the world, organized primarily by continent (or other large region) and then alphabetically by country within each group. The author begins by noting that the ever-increasing flood of atlases—national, regional, topical, and special—makes individual reviews impossible, thus necessitating summary evaluations to acknowledge important publications while respecting space constraints. The review covers representative works from Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, North America, and South America, encompassing road atlases, historical-geographical atlases, national atlases, climatic atlases, economic atlases, and school atlases. Each atlas is assessed in terms of its compiling institution, editors, scales, number of plates, content structure, cartographic techniques, printing quality, and scholarly value, with notable features and shortcomings highlighted. For instance, the European section evaluates works such as the Euroatlas, Atlas östliches Mitteleuropa, Atlas von Niederösterreich, Atlas de Belgique, Climatic Atlas of Czechoslovakia, Atlas of Denmark, and Atlas of Finland, while the American section covers state atlases from Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia, as well as national atlases from Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. The article emphasizes that these atlases not only reflect the research standards of geography and cartography in their respective countries but also serve as vital references for regional planning, economic development, historical research, and education. The author concludes by acknowledging that no single individual can possess sufficient expertise across all aspects of geography, cartography, and linguistics to render definitive critical judgments, yet such summaries offer valuable guidance to scholars, with a forthcoming review of world atlases and special atlases announced.

A. Zierhoffer · 1929
This article reviews the third edition of the Atlas of Finland (1925–1928), published by the Geographical Society of Finland. The edition was completely revised in content and structure, reducing the number of plates from 55 to 38 while maintaining informational richness through smaller scales, enhanced map content, and a more synthetic approach. The atlas covers a wide range of topics, including topography, geology, hydrology, climate, biogeography, demography, economy, education, and administration. New features include 1:1,000,000-scale maps of vegetation types and population distribution, typical landscapes, and geographical regions. The reviewer regards the atlas as an exhaustive monograph on Finland, a testament to Finnish civilization, and an effective instrument of political propaganda.
