Atlas of the Uzbek SSR

И. С. Брыковская · 1964

This article consists of two book reviews. The first reviews the Atlas of Natural Conditions of the Uzbek SSR, noting its 53 pages of physical-geographic maps covering relief, geology, climate, vegetation, and fauna. It praises original maps showing regional specifics, such as loess subsidence, artesian basins, and cotton-related agroclimatic conditions, but criticizes the lack of supplementary charts, insufficient attention to economic significance and environmental conservation, and editorial inconsistencies. The second reviews The Cartographer's Handbook, published in 1964, describing it as the first systematic reference of its kind, sequentially covering all map-production processes and serving as a practical guide for cartographers.

Review

Recenzje: Atlas Uzbekskoj Sowietskoj Socjalisticzeskoj Respubliki

Unknown · 1964

This is a review of the Atlas of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, published in 1963. Compiled under the direction of Professor L. Babushkin, the atlas contains 50 maps with explanatory texts, covering physical geography: administration, relief, geology, tectonics, hydrography, climate, soils, vegetation, and zoogeography. The climatic and biogeographic sections are particularly detailed. The reviewer finds the atlas highly valuable for Polish readers, well edited, but notes the absence of a socio-economic section, which prevents it from being a fully comprehensive national atlas.

This article discusses the development of the National Atlas of Uzbekistan, focusing on its content, structure, and purpose. The authors argue that the country's independence and changed geopolitical position, along with socioeconomic transformation, created an urgent need for a comprehensive cartographic representation of the nation. The paper reviews earlier atlases of Uzbekistan and the accumulated cartographic experience, then presents the concept, goals, and key principles of the new atlas, emphasizing integrity, complexity, systematicity, historicity, and dynamism. The atlas consists of two volumes with more than 20 sections and about 400 maps: the first volume covers natural conditions, resources, and ecology, while the second covers population, economy, culture, and history. As a fundamental geographic reference, the atlas supports government administration, scientific research, education, and planning across economic sectors, contributing to sustainable development, rational resource use, and attracting foreign investment.
