Notes and reviews: The atlas of Australian resources

This article reviews the Atlas of Australian Resources, which employs a 1:6,000,000 scale due to the country's vast area and uneven population distribution, emphasizing correlations between maps. It analyzes in detail the characteristics and shortcomings of its physical, hydrological, climatic, soil, vegetation, agricultural, industrial, population, transport, and planning maps, noting that while its structure aligns closely with international standards, issues arise in population distribution representation and scale selection. Overall, the atlas holds a prominent place in its series, with accompanying notes forming an encyclopedia, though it requires continuous updates to maintain relevance.
