Favorite Atlas
What is your favorite or goto Atlas? I am studying biblical geography. How would you begin and what resources would you select? Thanks!

I don't have a "go to" atlas as one resource is never sufficient*. Carta Atlas(es) are good, but I would recommend you create a collection based on subject:maps OR mytag:maps. The ones I had to tag as maps include:
- The ESV Study Bible ---> has useful maps
- CSB Study Bible Notes ---> has useful maps
- Holman QuickSource Guide to Understanding the Bible ---> has useful maps
- 2x Thomson Chain atlas --> useful maps but with wrong/missing Subject
- Thompson Chain Biblical Atlas --> useful maps but with wrong/missing Subject
- Understanding the Maccabean Revolt, 167 to 63 BCE: An Introductory Atlas --> useful maps but with wrong/missing Subject
- Tyndale Handbook of Bible Charts & Maps --> useful maps but with wrong/missing Subject, wrong Type
- New Testament Survey (Gromacki) ---> somewhat useful B&W maps
* "Holman Bible Atlas" has the best map of Abraham's travels e.g. Media Search for Abraham restricted to Maps in my collection (A Maps Search could be more convenient).

Thanks Dave, this is very useful.

The two I consult first are the ESV Bible Atlas and the Zondervan Atlas Bible. The Carta series is good, especially The Sacred Bridge, but they're pricey.

Thanks Ted. I am working in the Sacred Bridge.

I use pretty much the same list as Dave and agree setting up a collection is a good way to go.
There has been some discussion and feedback on improving Logos' Atlas and integration with other maps in recent thread about the Where is Logos Headed. It is worth checking out a personal file that someone has mentioned that they created to manage maps.
There are also a variety of maps and atlas suggestions to vote for in feedback.logos.com. The last time I checked, it could do with someone proposing an overall set of improvements to consolidate all that is scattered throughout the site.

Michael, I've continually tried to see how to best maximize maps in Logos. The above suggestions are good but my "go-to" use of maps is creating personal books through the course offered by LearnLogos that identifies maps within various Logos resources and links them to Bible references. Here is a link to the training which also includes the personal books that have all the links - https://www.learnlogos.com/Maps_p/maps.htm
Dr. John Brumett shared his system with LearnLogos. Here is a screenshot of one of the personal books that links to map resources within Logos. When I want to see what maps are available in Logos for a particular Bible passage this is my preferred method. I really wish that this type of technology was available within Logos but at least this generally works for now.

I use a Collection similar to Dave's, this picked up a few resources in my library:
subject:maps OR mytag:maps OR type:Atlas OR:subject:charts
