Summary/Abstract: The beginnings of geolinguistics in Lithuania is linked with the activities of the linguist Antanas Salys. The article presents arguments that prove that the authors of the Lietuvių kalbos atlasas (Atlas of the Lithuanian Language, 1977–1991) mostly drew on the work of Salys and his colleagues: they used the same network of settlements, which they modified a little. The net of the points of the Atlas did not change with the contemporary classification of Lithuanian dialects. In this way the possibility to further observe and study the development of Lithuanian dialects remained.
