Petrograd on the map of European Russia fixes Harmsworth's New Atlas at a particular post-war moment, with sheets here dated 1920. The atlas combined regional maps with themes such as wheat cultivation, temperature and population density, and the examples cover eastern Europe, European Russia, British India, the United States and the Arctic. Railways, canals, steamship routes and explorers' tracks give different kinds of movement a place on the map.
