Recenzje: Atlas Polski
Adam Schmuck · 1957
This article reviews the progress in geological mapping of Poland by comparing older and newer maps. It notes that earlier maps were overly generalized, with exaggerated frontal moraines, schematic river alluvia, and unclear lake shading. The new geological map is richer in content but less graphically successful, depicting bedrock relief with 50-m contours and revising the Neogene extent and the Tertiary–Cretaceous boundary in northeastern Poland. It also adds details on marine transgressions and Carpathian stratigraphy. The accompanying Tertiary basement map and gravity maps reveal major advances. The author urges rapid publication of the planned atlas in Polish with a larger print run, since geological knowledge is essential for understanding Poland's geography.
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.
