This review examines the 25th delivery of the National Atlas of Sweden, comprising four map sheets covering railway traffic, road density, population, and museum distribution. The railway maps illustrate network development and load from 1856 to 1968, alongside a comparison of accessibility from Stockholm in 1900 and 1960. Road density is depicted in six classes within 26 km² grid cells. Population maps, based on new municipal block divisions, show density, community types, and commuting patterns for 1960. Museum maps indicate the spread of state and city museums as well as local historical societies. All sheets feature clean, simple, and clear cartographic design, enhanced by detailed texts, sketches, and diagrams, significantly increasing their informational value.
