Reviews: Atlas of Australian Resources

Summary

This review assesses the Atlas of Australian Resources, published by the Department of National Development, Canberra. The final five maps, covering geology, croplands, mineral industry, manufacturing industries, and immigration, complete the atlas, which now comprises 30 sheets and 82 maps. The review notes that these maps maintain the series' high standards in data representation, cartographic appeal, and color composition, supplemented by informative commentaries with text, statistics, and additional small maps. The editorial team consolidated previously inaccessible or incomparable information for the entire continent, positioning this atlas among the finest national atlases of the past decade.
