Recenzje: Atlas de Cuba; Atlas Censal de el Salvador.
Andrzej Bonasewicz · 1958
This review discusses three geographical publications: the Atlas de Cuba (1949), the Atlas Censal de El Salvador (1955), and the Bibliography of Physical Limnology 1781–1954. It outlines their contents, cartographic methods, and main features, while noting strengths and weaknesses: the Cuban atlas offers rich maps and bilingual explanations; the Salvadoran atlas provides detailed demographic and economic data but lacks scales and is in Spanish only; the bibliography is clearly organized and well indexed. Overall, these works serve educational and reference purposes.
Atlases and maps. Census atlas of El Salvador
Unknown · 1959
This review describes the 1955 Salvadoran census atlas (Atlas censal de El Salvador) prepared by the economic, cartographic, and geographic departments of the country's Statistical Directorate. The atlas contains 79 maps plus numerous charts, photographs, and drawings. It begins with a brief introduction and a geographical-historical overview of Central America (five maps), then covers El Salvador specifically: physical conditions (relief, rainfall, climate, vegetation), population (based on the 1950 census, including school distribution), agriculture (land use, agricultural zones, major crops, livestock), and industry (sugar factories, electrification). Maps are supported by explanatory texts, statistical tables, and graphs. The atlas concludes with descriptions of administrative regions, schematic plans of their capitals, and a gazetteer. The reviewer regards it as a clear and comprehensive cartographic reference.
