Maps and atlases are great tools for getting a feel for the landscape and geographic borders of Russia,
which is the largest country, geographically, in the world. You may want to explore some of UNC's many geographical resources.
A wide range of maps can be found in the Maps Collection on the lower level of Wilson Library. If you prefer to start in the Undergraduate Library, the UL Reference collection has a variety of atlases, including international and historic. They are on an atlas case between the shelves holding call numbers PQ-PR. A few useful atlases are:
Atlas of World History. New York: Oxford University Press, 1999.
Undergraduate Library Reference G1030 .O85 1999
National Geographic Atlas of the World.
