Articles

The National Atlas includes interesting and informative articles about the geography of America. Some of these articles were prepared to provide additional information to explain the maps that appear in the Atlas. Others introduce government programs and how geographic information and maps influence public decision making. Still other articles are intended to educate or stimulate an interest in the people and places of this Nation.

Below are listed the articles currently contained in the National Atlas, in sections that correspond to its chapters. Articles on map reading, America's changing population, the geology of the Nation, water quality and many more topics will be added to nationalatlas.gov™ in the coming year.
