Hammond Nature Atlas of America | Roland Clement 1973 | Large HC

North America’s Ecological Systems — Text, Maps, and Photos in One Large-Format Volume

Roland Clement was the chief biologist at the National Audubon Society when this atlas was produced, which explains why it’s more than a picture book. Hammond put real resources into the cartography and photography, and Clement brought the science.

At 13 × 10 inches, it sits at the intersection of reference book and visual document — the kind of thing that belongs on a large desk or library shelf and gets returned to. If you need a vintage North American ecology atlas with genuine substance, this is a reliable copy. Condition is good for its age with no specific damage noted.

Collector’s Notes

Roland Clement’s work at Audubon made him one of the more credible voices in mid-century American ecology. Hammond’s atlas series was known for quality cartography. This 1973 edition documents North American ecosystems at a specific moment in environmental history — before significant habitat changes of the 1980s–90s took hold.

 A useful reference for natural historians, conservationists, and map book collectors.
