The first modern atlas, titled "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," was published in 1570 by the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius. This work is significant for its systematic compilation of maps and was the first to use the term "atlas" to describe a collection of maps. Ortelius's atlas marked a pivotal moment in cartography, influencing subsequent mapmaking and the organization of geographical knowledge.
