A National Atlas

Summary

This article by Prof. E. G. R. Taylor advocates for the creation of a National Atlas of Britain, transforming statistical data collected by government and scientific bodies into accessible maps for citizens and planners. It outlines the atlas's planned sections, including physical geography, agriculture, history, and social aspects, emphasizing its role in post-war planning, heritage preservation, and stimulating research. The author urges national backing, leveraging the Ordnance Survey's resources, to realize this project.
