Introduction to the Foreign Atlas: "Atlas of Sweden"

Summary

This account describes the layout, thematic coverage, and cartographic techniques of Atlas over Sverige, first published in 1953. Accompanied by Swedish explanatory texts and English summaries, the atlas covers relief, climate, vegetation, lakes, agricultural phenology, land divisions, and population distribution. Transparent administrative overlays support the reading of thematic maps. The author praises the legibility of very small symbols but notes that livestock farming receives limited coverage despite accounting for a substantial share of agricultural income.
