Coverage of the United States differs from atlas to atlas. In some, each state has a page to itself, while in others each map shows a region containing several states. Map coverage of the larger metropolitan areas of the world also differs. Some atlases have many maps of this sort for both American and foreign metropolitan areas. The number and detail of relief maps also varies, particularly in coverage of the ocean floor and the moon.
Some atlases contain many beautiful satellite pictures of the earth.
There are other maps for language, religion, agriculture and manufacturing and population density. The number and variety of these maps depends on the atlas. Some provide a guide to pronunciation. Some provide population figures for many of the places listed. Some mention the state or province of which many cities are a part.
