Cartactual
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cartactual was a cartographic reference journal, published by Hungarian publisher Cartographia,[1] starting in September 1965 under the editorship of Alexander Radó.[2][3] It produced a collection of maps that illustrated changes to geographic features such as roads, railways, ferry routes, ports, and international and sub-national boundaries in various countries of the world, that were cited in its sister-journal Geodézia és Kartográfia (Geodesy and Cartography).[4]
Cartactual was created wholly from open source cartography and was an amalgamation of many newspapers and technical journals. Its production represented a significant technical task that covered search, selection, organisation, illustration and publication of known data by Cartographia cartographers.[5]
