In 1970, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published The National Atlas of the United States of America™. It was a 400-page, oversized, 12-pound collec-tion of maps. In 1998, a new and innov-ative National Atlas was released. This edition includes both electronic and paper map products and exploits infor-mation management, access, and deliv-ery technologies that didn't exist in 1970.
