Gold Coast Atlas

Summary

This article reports notable additions to the Library of Congress Map Division. The Gold Coast Atlas (5th edition) contains 20 maps, a gazetteer of 1,083 places, and thematic maps on administration, population, geology, agriculture, etc., supplemented by city plans and statistical tables, though it lacks textual explanations and disease-distribution maps. It also introduces postwar German topographic maps by Karl Wenschow, covering German states, Europe, the Americas, and Africa at varied scales, with boundaries, railroads, highways, and pipelines depicted, thereby enriching the collection.
