Historical Atlas of the World is a historical atlas that contains 108 color maps showing religious boundaries, countries, cities, buildings army movements and expeditions. It contains an index to place, peoples, historical and military events and explorers.

Broken into four sections:

• Ancient Times (3000 BC – 200 AD): 31 maps

• (1500–1900): 38 maps
• Twentieth Century (1900–1970): 15 maps
