Finland · Version 1

1899–2002

This review describes the third edition of the Atlas of Finland, published by the Geographical Society of Finland in 1925–1929, with data mostly referring to 1925. Intended to depict contemporary natural features, government, and living conditions, it omits historical maps from earlier editions and reduces the accompanying text to 302 pages. The review surveys maps of topography, geology, climate, waters, vegetation, settlement, population, and industry, highlighting Granö’s geographical regionalization based on landscape uniformity. The reviewer praises the clarity of the mapping and attributes the atlas’s favorable reception among the public and geographers chiefly to its editor, Granö, and his collaborators.
