This review surveys recent Nordic contributions to historical cartography. It first presents the Swedish National Atlas, a 17-volume work on population, landscape, forests, etc., with printed and digital versions. It then discusses Clas Tollin's application of cadastral maps to cultural heritage management, and two works on Åland: a landscape reconstruction from eighteenth-century maps and Birgitta Roeck Hansen's archaeological/historical study refuting discontinuity theories. Finally, it examines the historical atlas of Reykjavík. These publications demonstrate the value of combining historical maps with other sources for preserving cultural landscapes.
