Reviews: Atlas of Australian Resources: Second Series: Roads and Aerodromes, 3rd ed.

Summary

This review discusses the third edition of the Roads and Aerodromes map in the Second Series of the Atlas of Australian Resources, published in 1977 by the Australian Division of National Mapping. Compared to the 1967 second edition, key changes include a unified national road classification replacing state-based systems, resulting in some locally important roads being omitted, and an updated aerodrome classification reflecting increased air transport, now including authorized but unlicensed landing areas. The map is accompanied by an explanatory booklet with traffic data and analysis.
