I'm not sure about how much it is an atlas (31 maps in 214 pages) but it
sure sounds fascinating:

Mainland Southeast Asia is one of the world s key regions for the
trafficking of illegal goods. It is home to an international trade in small
arms, nuclear smuggling rings, human trafficking, contraband and counterfeit
goods, illicit currency and smuggled medicinal drugs. The scope and
mechanisms of such trafficking, however, are far from understood. An Atlas
of Trafficking in Southeast Asia brings together key researchers and
*cartographic specialists *to provide a unique overview of the major forms
of illegal trafficking in the region.
*Featuring 32 specially drawn full-colour maps detailing the trafficking
hubs, counter-trafficking facilities and border status for each of the
trafficking activities, together with political, historical, topographic,
ecological and linguistic regional maps*, the atlas provides an unparalleled
reference resource that will be welcomed by professionals and academics
across a wide range of disciplines
