Reviews: Atlas of Kenya

Summary

The Atlas of Kenya, compiled by the Survey of Kenya, contains 40 coloured plates along with historical maps and a gazetteer, systematically presenting the geography, administrative divisions, economic resources, and exploration history of Kenya. The review notes that provincial maps are at 1:1M scale while most national maps use 1:3M, with excellent colour registration and printing, though some strong colour combinations are criticized. The exploration map is particularly highlighted, honouring early pioneers such as Krapf, Stanley, and others. Overall, the atlas is a comprehensive and valuable reference on Kenya.
