5.0 out of 5 stars
great for hikers, fishermen, hunters, 4-wheelers
if you can afford 100 geological survey maps, get those. You can get all you need for approaching a trailhead or finding a lake or a jeep road out in the backcountry.

This review is from: Colorado Atlas & Gazetter (Paperback)
This is a useful volume for back roads and trails, but I was very disapointed with the "topo maps for the entire state". First, while they are topo maps, there is little altitude information on the actual contours- you can only determine altitude by finding a peak or opther point with a stated altitude, and count the contours to your point of interest. Second, these topo maps have NO lat/long information. In todays world, where many folks have GPS units in their car, RV, or backpacks, this makes no sense at all. This is a serious failing and why I feel the book is outdated.
