We carry this atlas whenever we set out on one of our explorations. Whether we are heading out to camp or simply driving to L.A., this book satisfies the urge to know the name of the landforms you pass. In addition to identifying every mountain and wash, this book will show you where the mines and water sources are located, the historical sites, the unimproverd roads, the observatories.....it's fascinating. The tables at the front and back of the book are also useful for finding a camp site, a fishing spot, or the best place around to watch birds. Our copy has lost its cover and the center spread is coffee-stained, but I would almost rather leave my sunglasses home than leave the driveway without it.

I was glad to see the Arizona edition of this outstanding series! I have used these books in other parts of the country. I keep my Arizona Atlas & Gazetteer in my truck and use it all of the time to find alternate routes. It has always been helpful and accurate.

Be advised, however, that the Phoenix metropolitan area is growing faster than any map can keep up. If you are in Phoenix, you will need an up-to-date city map -- check the dates carefully.

These maps will help a lot for planning rides on my dirt bike. A little more detail would be better, but I'm satisfied with the product.
