MAPAS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Lista dos Mapas publicados pela revista National Geographic

  

Figura 1 – Detalhe do mapa intitulado “Bible Lands and the Cradle of WesternCivilization” publicado pela National Geographic Society, em dezembro de 1946. Podemos ver a Palestina (na época sob mandato britânico, antes da criação de Israel), tendo como capital, Jerusalém e a Trans-Jordânia (atual Jordânia), ainda com os contornos indefinidos.

A National Geographic é a revista da National Geographic Society que vem sendo publicada mensalmente desde 1888 até o presente. Além da revista, são publicados, esporadicamente, suplementos e mapas adicionais. Em algumas ocasiões foram realizadas edições especiais.

Atualmente, a revista é publicada em 33 idiomas. A edição brasileira teve início em maio de 2000.

Aqui estão relacionados os mapas publicados desde 1888 a 2016, da publicação em inglês. A lista, no entanto, não é exaustiva. Esta lista foi elaborada a partir das informações de Robert Johnston e de sites de vendas e da observação dos mapas.

O primeiro mapa foi publicado em outubro de 1889, intitulado “North Carolina-Tennesse: Asheville Sheet”. O primeiro mapa da America do Sul foi publicado em novembro de 1921 e o primeiro mapa Mundi em dezembro de 1922.

Explanation of columns:

·  Type of map-codes are

• A = astronomy-related (sky chart or map of Moon or Mars)
• C = cultural
• E = environmental
• G = geologic
• H = historical
• P = physical
• S = standard political
• SR = standard road map
• T = topographic
• X = unclassified
• * = pictorial (not a map)
• some are double coded from above codes

·  Scale: given as inverse (e.g. 1,000,000 for 1:1,000,000); cited scale is generally for the smallest scale map or main map for sheets with multiple maps (particularly front-and-back maps).

·  Series: several series are coded as follows (with numbers indicating place in sequence):

• AP = Atlas Plate
• CU = Close-Up: USA
• CUC = Close-Up: Canada
• MA = Making of America
• SP = Special Places of the World
• MC = Making of Canada
• GP = Great Peoples
• MM = Millennium in Maps

Some caveats:

• This list is compiled from several incomplete sources; corrections are welcome.
• In some cases, classification of type of map is my best guess without having examined the map.
• A few maps do not state scale, in which case an estimate is given.

Figura 2 – Detalhe do Mapa intitulado “The Far East”, publicado pela National Geographic Society, em setembro de 1952. Podemos ver nele detalhes interessantes da época, como a Nova Guiné Holandesa, na parte oriental da ilha da Nova Guiné, hoje Nova Guiné Ocidental, que comporta duas províncias, a Papua Ocidental e a Papua, que fazem parte da Indonésia. No mesmo mapa, temos ainda o Timor Português (hoje Timor-Leste) e o enclave de Ocussi-Ambemo.
