To cite a map from an atlas, the basic format is:


Map author. (year). Map Title [format]. Scale. In Atlas author. Atlas Title. (Edition). Place of publication: Publisher. year of publication. (page).

 

Example:

Magocsi, P. R. (2003). Population movements, 1944-1948 [map]. 1:8 890 000. In P. R. Magocsi, 
       Historical atlas of central Europe. (Rev. & ex. ed.) Seattle: University of Washington

If citing from a print periodical, the basic format is:
