It is from his "Atlas Universel de Geographie", folio (folded once as issued), Brussells, 1827, Scale ca. 1:1,100,000. This was the world's first large atlas on a uniform scale. The Atlas Universel was one of the most remarkable atlases ever made, with over 400 maps on a uniform scale, and completed in only three years. Philippe Marie Guillaume Vandermaelen was a Belgian geographer. Between the years 1825-1827 he published his six volume collection of maps. This was the first atlas of the world on a uniform scale and is probably the earliest map published at such a large scale for this region.
This map shows the Alaska peninsula from 161W to 165 W and includes the Pribilof Islands, Cape Newenham, part of Bristol Bay [Golfe Kanitch], Unimak and Unimak Pass, Sanak Island and part of the Fox Islands, King Cove, Fort Randall, Kipnuk, lower part of Nunivak Island, Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, Cold Bay, False Pass, Akutan, and parts of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.
