Azerbaijan

The Atlas of the Azerbaijan SSR (1963) was compiled by scientists from the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Geography and other institutions, with ministry and departmental specialists, and published by the USSR’s Main Administration of Geodesy and Cartography. Reviews describe a 218-page volume, issued in Azerbaijani and Russian, with data mainly current to early 1961. Its sections cover introductory information, natural conditions, economy, cultural development and history. Topics include geology, climate, hydrology, the Caspian Sea, petroleum and gas, irrigation, agricultural specialization, transport, education and health care. Reviewers praised its detailed thematic treatment and cartographic design, but criticized inconsistencies between related maps and inadequate population coverage; one review specifically noted the absence of a separate population section.

Azərbaycan Respublikası. Milli Atlas was published in book form in 2014 by the State Committee on Land and Cartography. The catalogued volume is in English. A 2015 account titled “National Atlas of the Republic of Azerbaijan” is attributed to G. Mammadov, J. Abdullayev and M. Bayramov; the supplied record provides no further details of the atlas’s contents or compilation.
