The Digital Atlas Project is a freely-available online atlas targeted to students and teachers from around the globe, searching for up-to-date world and regional maps, data, and visualizations for learning geography.
Add the Digital Atlas Project as a Favourite or to your Bookmark Bar. Teachers: Link the Digital Atlas Project to your GoogleClassroom pages and assignments, and add us to your school, department, or class website.
These political, physical, and demographic maps, videos and visualizations will assist you with classroom work, remote learning, doing homework, completing projects, and preparing lessons. The resources on these pages cover many of the curriculum elements for middle years and high school in Canada and the United States, Key Stages 2 and 3 in England, Wales, and Scotland, as well as GCSE, IGCSE, A level, AP, and IB Diploma students around the world.
Become a contributor! Students and teachers pour over thousands of websites, maps, and geography resources every day. If you find a public or creative commons map, diagram, or graphic that would help build a more complete online atlas, then please forward the link to the DigitalAtlasProject Team.
Scroll down for more maps, data and visualizations and visit our World Regions and Canada pages. Themes and GeoSkills are gradually being added to, so have a look!
