Historical cartography of Europe, physical geography and images
Europe is presented as a cultural area delimited north by the polar circle, but limited here to degree 60, east by the Ural - Caspian - Zagros line, south by the Sahara and west by the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, on the Euratlas website you will find:
- A physical atlas of Europe which makes it possible to easily locate the geographical position of the main mountains, rivers, cities and borders. These online maps are interactive finders: you simply need to click a name and its location will appear on the general map.
- A historical atlas of Europe: history of the European area in 21 maps. These maps are designed as a tool of reference and offer a general historical vision of the last two millennia in Europe, North Africa and Near East.
- An online collection of antique maps of the 18th and 19th centuries, selected for the practical information provided like place names, roads, etc.
- The Photos section offers more than 1000 pictures of European and Mediterranean towns, landmarks and landscapes. These images are freely distributable provided that the euratlas logo remains in place.
- A clickable world atlas allowing the display of the 194 independent countries in the world with their main characteristics: long and short name in English and local language, area, population, capital etc. A separate page shows the special status territories, like Gaza, Transnistria, Karabagh, Puntland etc.
Moreover, in the Euratlas Shop you will be able to purchase, by direct download, several history, geography and mapping digital products: the Periodical Historical Atlas in high resolution, the Atlas of Germany 1789, the Hisatlas Historical and Political Atlas of the Modern Age as well as historical or physical vector maps of Europe.
