An atlas is a collection of general reference maps, thematic maps, and geographical information. Detailed maps are often displayed to advantage in printed atlases, but online atlases can benefit from the interactive nature of the World Wide Web. These online map and atlas websites may include scrollable maps and customizable graphs as well as searchable content and downloadable statistics. This online atlas features maps, photographs, and information about the United States of America.
