The Selection of Towns and Other Features on Atlas Maps of Nigeria

Abstract

Several educational atlases and one reference atlas are selected, and the treatment of Nigeria critically examined. All are found to be deficient, to a greater or lesser degree, in the generalisation of coastline, hydrography, relief and the selection and classification of towns. Concentrating on the last topic, information of both objective and subjective nature is given, derived from the author's research in Nigeria; and based on this, proposals are made and illustrated for a more effective treatment of the selection and classification of towns.
