France analysed theme by theme, through its rivers, climate, minerals and institutions, fills these maps from Atlas de Géographie, associated with E. Cortambert and published by Hachette in 1880. River-basin maps separate the Rhône and Mediterranean drainage from the rivers flowing towards the North Sea, while meteorological and mineralogical sheets cover rainfall, winds, temperature and resources. Other plates compare the historical provinces with the departments or set out judicial, military, ecclesiastical and educational divisions, and maps of ancient Gaul and the French colonies extend the atlas in time and space, using one national outline for many kinds of explanation.
