Bengal in Maps

1949

S. P. Chatterjee’s Bengal in Maps was published in English by Orient Longmans, with the atlas record dating it to 1949. G. B. Masefield’s 1951 review identifies the book as a 1950 publication and describes a socio-economic regional atlas covering resource distribution in West and East Bengal. He praises its clear mapping of natural vegetation and crops such as rice and jute, noting its usefulness for teaching and regional planning. He criticizes the combined depiction of rocks and soils as confusing and notes that soil-survey coverage is unspecified, while commending Chatterjee’s painstaking work with imperfect data. O. H. K. Spate also discussed the atlas in his 1950 review of geographical publications in India and Pakistan.
