Is there a Map you would like to see in the wikipedia atlas? Please post you suggestions below to let your voice be heard.

Procedure

The nomination process here is relaxed. Maps need not be featured but images that meet the criteria are more likely to gain support.

Nominating articles

Find a map from Category:Maps or commons:Category:Maps that you think is illustrative or important. It need not be a current featured picture, but if it is, it could only help the nomination.
- If the article was previously nominated for featured status, or if it has been on peer review, try to resolve as many of the remaining objections as possible.
In the nominations section below, add a third level section header with the linked page title as the section name (===[[Page title]]===). Below this new header, add your reasons for nomination and sign your nomination with ~~~~.

Supporting and objecting

If you approve of an image, write "Support" followed by your reasons.
- A nomination is considered a vote in support, so nominators don't need to add another vote to their nominations.
If you oppose a nomination, write "Oppose" followed by the reasons for your objection. Where possible, objections should provide a specific rationale that can be addressed.
- To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with <s>...</s>) rather than removing it.

Nominations

I would nominate the Waldseemüller map from 1507 but not the piecemeal one on the Wikipedia page but the full big on on the link to https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3200.ct000725C/
