Civ Community:
- The official Civilization IV homepage
- The forums of the CivFanatics Centre are the beating heart of the online Civ community.
- Here you can find the thread concerning Atlas.
- Apolyton is the second important fansite of the Civilization series.
- There's a thread on Atlas there too.
- Definitely check out this Map Generator for Civ2 which was my inspiration to start this project in the first place
Other Civ Utilities and Mods
- MapView by Gr3yHound for viewing and editing Civ4WorldBuilderSave files

Maps
- Take a look at the Moon
- About the greatest Atlas ever published - Atlas Maior by Joan Blaeu
- A comprehensive site about Gerardus Mercator and map projections
Miscellaneous
- Wikipedia on 'Atlas', as a collection of maps
- Wikipedia on the mythological Atlas
- Atlas' map generation techniques are similar to the rules of Cellular Automata. This is a nice, if a bit psychedelic, example of a cellular automaton
- A well known example of a cellular automaton, and a bit less painful to the eyes, is the Game of Life
