Railway atlases: bibliography of the cartographic products published worldwide between 1945 and 2021

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the results of a study compiling a bibliography of railway atlases published worldwide between 1945 and 2021. The atlases are a specific kind of product that supports cartographic communication of information regarding the current or former state of the railway network in a certain area. They are used in professional activities, for travel planning, or as a historical source. The research identified 253 unique titles forming 348 separate volumes. The bibliographic data are presented in tables corresponding to particular geographic regions. The lists are preceded by a descriptive part devoted to the origins of railway cartography, research methods, and a brief overview of selected items.

Keywords: railway maps, geographic atlases, rail transport, cartographic products after 1945

Keywords
