Tim Dowley Historical Atlas's Quite Good
https://www.logos.com/products/search?q=dowley+title%3aatlas
There's two. The Christian history one shipped today. It was good so I bought the other too.
I made this thread mainly for map enthusiasts, though each map has quite a bit of text discussion.
The titles don't quite nail down what is in which. For example, China is mainly in the Christian history one, but Japan is in the Reformation one. Go figure, but nice maps for both. Of course lots of Europe.
There's quite a number of North American maps which is really interesting. Fortress Press 2015-16.
For anyone familiar with Japan, Hideyoshki slipped in ... At least Ieyasu was spelled right.

Would you post an excerpt?

If you're interested in something specific, let me know. This one is interesting (another thread notes the tiny text on maps):

Thanks Denise, looks like it's well worth the money!

The maps on both resources are very detailed. If you will teaching on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, these two are indispensable for PowerPoint presentations.

This will be a valuable resource. The maps are large and clear. The text, while brief, is adequate to understand each map and to allow further study. Those without much knowledge of church history may be disappointed that there isn't more 'history' in this atlas, but used as a geographic reference to church history it will be quite helpful. I don't know anything else quite like it.
I'd give this one 5 stars. [Y]

I agree. Though Finland is in the margin in most maps related to Europe, but that's it.[:(]

Not only this one, but generally most maps about early Christian history are unaware of the Middle East. One good map is in Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakhmids#/media/File:NE_565ad.jpg where the areas of Lakhmids and Ghassanids are shown.
They were to some degree Christian kingdoms and some speculate that Islam developed from that context.

I must confess, I'm not sure where the Finnish reindeer herds end, and Russia begins (without a map). p85 seems to accidentally cover a section of Finland. Maybe.
It's not too hard to find 'not quite true' portions of the maps. But most seem well researched. The New Mexico missions seems like just one more 'grab' from the overly zealous Texans. Maybe Tim is from Texas.

I put this here, for any later Dowley Atlas queriers.
1. In the mobile apps, the cities and labels (on the maps) are active, such that a long-press (equiv of rgt-clik) will generate a copyable popup.
2. On the desktop, the same group (cities, etc on the maps) can be searched. This is handy when dealing with the various events. I was surprised with Shizuoka.
3. Similarly, on the desktop, you can use the NEAR verb for locations in the same map. Not sure why you'd want that, but it illustrates how it's coded.
4. You can drag and drop the map locations, illustrating they're active text. Dropping over a text object changes the icon (as expected), but the text object doesn't respond to the event.
