The answer
ATLAS
What atlas means
A bound collection of maps showing geographical features, political boundaries, and other spatial information for reference and study.
Where the word comes from
From Greek Atlās, the Titan condemned to hold up the sky in Greek mythology. In the 16th century, mapmakers began adorning title pages with images of Atlas bearing the heavens, and the name transferred to the book of maps itself. The practice solidified when Gerardus Mercator titled his 1595 collection of maps "Atlas," cementing the term for any bound collection of maps.
