Book Review and Introduction: Landform Classification Map of Poland
Unknown · 1962
This paper reviews and introduces the geomorphological map of Poland (Mapa Geomorfologiczna Polski, 1:2,000,000) published by the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography in Warsaw (1953–1956). The map classifies Polish landforms into 27 genetic types under two major categories—accumulation and erosion—and reveals a regional sequence of landform types and forms shaped by Scandinavian glaciations (Mindel, Riss, and Würm). It also describes Poland's application of detailed geomorphological maps at 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scales for national land surveys and economic planning, citing works by Kondraski and Klimaszewski on mapping principles and legends.
Reviews of Books: Atlas Polski
J. J. Klawe · 1961
This review introduces the provisional Atlas of Poland (1956), produced after WWII amid a wave of national atlases. The atlas was initiated in 1945 but its original plan was only partially fulfilled due to editorial changes, resulting in a four-folder collection of maps at 1:2M or smaller. The reviewer describes the contents: physical geography sheets covering soils, geology, geomorphology, climate, vegetation, zoogeography, and land use, plus an unusual phenological map based on plant blossoming times. Despite poor paper quality, the cartographic workmanship is satisfactory. The review concludes that this interim publication paved the way for a new comprehensive Polish atlas planned by the Institute of Geography, with larger format, 454 maps, and trilingual editions.
