An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a map of Earth or a region of Earth, but there are atlases of the other planets (and their satellites) in the solar system.

In addition to presenting geographic features and political boundaries, many atlases often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. From Wikipedia under the
