Besprechungen: Atlas van Nederland

Summary

This review discusses the 9th installment of the Atlas of the Netherlands (1974) and recent map publications. The installment adds five maps, bringing the total to 77, with four on transportation (road, rail, water, air) and one on historical farmhouse types. The farmhouse map compares distributions around 1500, 1700, and 1850, distinguishing five types through color combinations and overlaid hatching. Transportation maps employ graded flow bands and proportional circles; the air transport map features a special grid projection by A. J. Karssen. The review also notes new British 1:5000 mapping, Swedish 1:250000 overview maps, and journal articles. Map quality remains high, but prices have increased with production costs.
