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.
Mapy a Atlasy: Atlas over Danmark II
O. Kudrnovská · 1963
This article reviews recent developments in the compilation of regional atlases in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe during the early 1960s. It first introduces the Atlas of the Ukrainian SSR and the Moldavian SSR (Moscow, 1962), which contains approximately 130 maps at various scales, covering physical geography, industry, agriculture, and economic regionalization, supplemented by concise explanatory texts. The article then evaluates the new series of Polish voivodeship maps at 1:500,000, which show notable improvements in information density, cartographic quality, and relief representation. Furthermore, it discusses the second volume of the Atlas of Denmark, focusing on population distribution, and the inaugural issue of the International Yearbook of Cartography (1961), outlining its objectives and contents. Finally, it mentions the newly produced plastic relief map of the Tatra Mountains at 1:100,000 in Czechoslovakia. Overall, these works reflect the diversification and internationalization of regional atlas production techniques during this period.
