We present HistoAtlas, a pan-cancer computational atlas that extracts 38 interpretable histomic features from 6,745 diagnostic H&E slides across 21 TCGA cancer types and systematically links every feature to survival, gene expression, somatic mutations, and immune subtypes. All associations are covariate-adjusted, multiple-testing corrected, and classified into evidence-strength tiers. The atlas recovers known biology, from immune infiltration and prognosis to proliferation and kinase signaling, while uncovering compartment-specific immune signals and morphological subtypes with divergent outcomes. Every result is spatially traceable to tissue compartments and individual cells, statistically calibrated, and openly queryable. HistoAtlas enables systematic, large-scale biomarker discovery from routine H&E without specialized staining or sequencing. Data and an interactive web atlas are freely available at https://histoatlas.com .
