I really like this Atlas and have found it very useful for mapping out bike routes. It's great for finding the back country roads. Unfortunately, it doesn't distinguish between paved and gravel roads and the topographic information is useless, since the elevation line separation is 60 feet. In Indiana, 60 foot elevation changes can include entire hills. I've looked at other maps and atlases, and unless you want to buy several small, regional, topographical maps from the USGS this is the best book out there for the money.

This atlas is shows all the small roads and some long driveways, has GPS longitudes and latitudes, marks places of interest for day trips, and is useful for traveling the back roads to see the real Indiana. My wife and I are retired and are not usually in any hurry to get somewhere. This means we can drive the back roads to most places we desire to end up. With this map we actually get where we intend to go and still see some very interesting parts of Indiana. These maps are in constant use by us whether referencing locations mentioned in the news or in the van going somewhere. A great purchase with many uses.

We use these books in business to get our service men where they need to be. They are excellent!

The amount of information in this Atlas is amazing. I didn't realize how many awesome state parks and public access sites Indiana has, until I read this.

These are hands down, the best, most detailed, paper driving maps you will find. The details go all the way down to every litlle unpaved, unnamed, cowpath in a cornfield. Even the Indiana Department of Transportation Official Highway Map does not include all the roads that this does. When your digital world collides with analog reality, or you forget to bring it with you, these are the perfect backup. I wish Microsoft would use the Delorme mapping data used in these books for it's Streets & Trips product, instead of Navteq data.

This is a great atlas. It guides you through the back roads that are not well known.

As an avid covered bridge photographer, I have found these Atlases to be invaluable as a guide. The bridges (and other points of interest) are well marked and easy to find. My only complaint is that while traveling the book itself it too big and rather awkward to use without a navigator. A smaller book would be better. I will continue to buy them, however, as my search broadens.

My wife and I use this atlas on a near-constant basis for work and fun. With pinpoint accuracy it helps us determine exactly which of Indiana's 92 counties an obscure country back road resides. This is invaluable to my title-searcher wife, saving her many hours and miles of wasted traveling to the wrong county seat. When out on the road exploring the wonderful small towns of our state it helps us navigate through unfamiliar territory and find alternate, interesting routes that we would not have otherwise discovered. Highly detailed, easy to read and follow, I happily recommend this publication to anyone requiring a really good and useful local state atlas.
