The National Atlas of the United States of America

In 1970 the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) published The National Atlas of
the United States of America™. It was a
400-page, oversized, 12-pound collection
of maps. In 1998, a new and innovative
National Atlas will be published. This
edition will include both electronic and
paper map products and will exploit
information management, access, and
delivery technologies that didn't exist in
1970.
