An Atlas of Virginia, second edition, was published by the Virginia Geographic Alliance in 2002.
It was produced by Laurence W. Carstensen, Robert W. Morrill, and Joseph D. Enedy of the Virginia Geographic Alliance and made possible by grants from the Virginia Geographic Alliance, the Virginia Department of Education, and the National Geographic Society. The following photographs appeared on a CD that accompanied the Atlas.
