Ena L. Yonge · 1957
In this survey of national atlases, Yonge places the Atlas Censal de El Salvador among the Latin-American statistical atlases issued under a United States Bureau of the Census program, noting that its maps rest on census and statistical data gathered from many sources and with great difficulty, and that they were made to study possibilities for future economic and social development. She describes the atlas as similar in design and content to the Costa Rican atlas, both compiled under the guidance of the geographical consultant Alford Archer, and observes that both contain a list of place names and simply drawn town plans marking the main points of interest. The bibliographic note lists it as prepared in the Sección de Cartografía Estadística under Victor Kury Asprides, 110 pages.

This Russian notice, citing a Hungarian review by András Vagács, describes the Census Atlas of El Salvador (San Salvador, 1955). Compiled by the economic, cartographic and geographic divisions of the national statistical administration, it contains 79 maps and numerous graphs, photographs and drawings presenting the country’s geography and economy. Instructions for using the maps precede a geographical and historical account of continental Central America illustrated with five maps. The El Salvador sections cover physical conditions, population based on the 1950 census, school locations, agricultural land use, crops, livestock, sugar factories and electrification. Text, statistical tables and graphs explain and supplement the maps. The atlas concludes with descriptions of administrative regions and schematic plans of their centers identifying public buildings and industrial establishments, followed by an index of geographical names.
