Rezensionen: Atlas van Nederland

Summary

This review examines five thematic map sheets from the 10th installment of the Atlas of the Netherlands, printed in 1974. The sheets cover diverse topics including geology, geomorphology, vegetation, and agriculture. Sheet II-5 presents detailed geological profiles at scales of 1:100,000 and 1:50,000. Sheet III-1 displays geomorphological types at 1:600,000, supplemented by Sheet III-2 with nine 1:50,000 excerpts illustrating the generalization level of the main map. Sheet IV-4 distinguishes forested areas (8%) from natural areas (4%) with fine cartographic detail. Sheet XIII-7 integrates six agricultural themes, including farm size, land prices, and labor structure. The atlas is commended for its meticulous detail and comprehensive coverage, serving as an authoritative reference for Dutch geographic information.
