Finding trailheads and backroads were a breeze, July 21, 2009
This review is from: Montana Road and Recreation Atlas (Paperback)
I recently completed a two-month road trip, of which two weeks were spent in Montana. This atlas was a godsend, showing me forest roads that were not always noted on other maps. National forests, BLM lands, all were clearly shown in this atlas. I could open to whatever page I needed and find a campground, trail head or a forest to camp in. Special notes of interest were also annotated, showing Lewis and Clark sites, Indian encampments and other historical events.
The accuracy of this atlas is impressive. For the Bozeman area there is a special map that shows that area in great detail. The details are so clear that when I finally left Montana for Wyoming, I felt completely lost without my Benchmark map showing me the way. All my old Delorme gazetteers will be replaced with Benchmark maps.
Since I use both Benchmark and Delorme maps, I've realized from my road trip that for western states that have greater public lands, the Benchmark atlases serve a better purpose than the road atlas of Delorme.
If you like the outdoors, enjoy hiking, camping, cycling or kayaking or American history, or prefer the hidden back roads, this is the atlas for you. Scenic drives, bike trails, major trail heads and even waterfalls are noted here.

Backroads & Campgrounds, December 27, 2008
This review is from: Montana Road and Recreation Atlas (Paperback)
If you want to explore the backroads and find the best area's to go camping, without a lot of people next door, you need this book. It's nice to know that when you start into a remote area, whether you can expect to find quiet solitude around you, or a KOA campground...

Recreation Atlas, February 23, 2010
This review is from: Montana Road and Recreation Atlas (Paperback)
I had never seen a Recreation Atlas before this one. My family does a lot of camping out in the wilderness and we thought we'd try this one. It is very helpful because it not only shows the roads but has lists of campgrounds, recreation spots, and a lot more. It also has detailed section maps of the state so that you can get a close up look at an area. We horseback ride and this atlas even shows the trails that you can hike, bike, or horseback ride on! We were pleasantly surprised with this product.
