This paper is a synthetic overview of different methods used to create atlases of Slavic languages. It discusses the tradition of linguistic geography in Poland and presents the most important Slavic language atlases. It also describes common problems faced by atlas creators. In particular, the paper focuses on describing methods of collecting language data through questionnaires, ways of exploring language areas (directly or through correspondence), point network formation, and ways of presenting and mapping language material (through different types of maps, including post maps, isogloss maps, contour maps, and maps of mixed types). All these issues are presented on the basis of the most important Slavic language atlases.
