Werner Witt reviews the fifth installment (1970) of the Atlas of Switzerland, covering settlements, foreign trade, climate, and maximum glacier extent during the last ice age. Settlement maps depict habitation patterns, centrality, and urban development, with a dedicated sheet on Lausanne. Trade maps distinguish quantities and values through graphic symbols. Witt praises the explanatory texts, cartographic execution, and printing quality.
