atlas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country album' is the definition.
'atlas' can be an answer for 'album' (I have seen 'Album of maps' mean 'atlas' so perhaps 'album' could also mean 'atlas'). I am unsure of the 'country' bit.

'finally cut short' is the wordplay.
'finally' becomes 'at last' (synonyms).
'cut short' means to remove the last letter.
'atlast' with its final letter taken off is 'ATLAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atlas that I've seen before include "Asian satin" , "I carry a huge weight" , "world record?" , "A geog. book; N. African range" , "One hugely burdened" .)
