The U.S. Census Bureau has published its first major atlas in over 70 years. International Mapping worked closely with the Census Bureau and created over 750 maps and charts as well as assisting with atlas design and production. The Census Atlas of the United States covers topics ranging from general population to language to housing. It includes informational text , maps and charts on thirteen topics: population, race and ethnicity, age and sex, living arrangements, place of birth and citizenship, migration, language, ancestry, education, work, military service, income and housing.

From the forword by Charles Kincannon, Director of the Census Bureau, “The Census Atlas of the United States is an invitation to spend several hours considering the characteristics of our country. These maps do not merely offer graphic representations of facts and data. They reveal the relationships among our nation’s people and the states, cities, and counties where they have chosen to live. In short, the book tells the story of our nation—its past, present, and future.”

The Atlas is available from GPO and retailers. 303 pages, $165.
