From £19.95

Publisher: DeLorme
Scale: Various

USA in a series of large format paperback state atlases from DeLorme, with detailed, contoured, GPS compatible topographic mapping plus extensive recreational information, with lists of sites and facilities, etc.

Each title covers one state and presents it on impressively detailed mapping at scales much more detailed than used on most state road maps. Particularly popular areas are often also presented on enlargements. The maps are contoured, show variation of terrain (deserts, glaciers, wetlands, woodlands, etc) and have latitude and longitude and/or UTM grid lines for GPS use. Various types of protected areas are distinguished by the colouring of their boundaries, e.g. national or state parks, forests, etc. Also marked are Indian Reservations and restricted entry military zones.

Road network is shown in much more detail than on other state mapping, with local roads, unsurfaced back roads and tracks, forest trails, etc. Where appropriate, old historical routes are marked. Railway lines and local airports or landing strips are included and the maps also indicate administrative boundaries. Symbols highlight various recreational areas and facilities such as campgrounds, unique natural features, etc.

Each title contains extensive lists of outdoor adventure sites (grouped into activities such as hiking, biking, paddling, fishing, skiing, etc.), diverse family outing sites, campgrounds, and tables showing what facilities can be found in the state’s recreational areas. Each atlas also has an index of localities.
