1963In his survey of Soviet regional atlases, K. A. Salishchev cites the mudflow map in the 1963 atlas of the Azerbaijan SSR as an example of mapping a region’s distinctive characteristics. He also notes its publication in Azerbaijani and Russian editions, interpreting this as evidence of the growth of national cultures in the USSR.

The author reviews work on atlases of Soviet republics and oblasts published in 1961–64, containing maps on physical geography, population, economy and culture. He finds that these atlases suffer from a lack of practical purposefulness and inadequate coordination. These weaknesses are to be remedied in a new coordinated project of natural-resource atlases of the major republics and economic regions of the USSR initiated in 1963.
