3.0 out of 5 stars A nice book, but road accuracy questionable, September 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nevada Atlas & Gazetteer (Paperback)

I used the Nevada Atlas & Gazetteer on a trip this summer, and mostly it was useful. However, we ran into a number of places where a road indicated as an "other state route or major connector" either required 4WD to pass, or was blocked by a locked gate. In my book, state routes and major connectors can be used by the general public, and probably in a passenger car - even in Nevada.

However, the topographical representations are nice, and it was a good reference to have. I just quit trusting it after a day or so.

Great price and in perfect condition on arrival. We have friends who live in Nevada and I wanted some detailed maps of the desert in southern Nevada. Having owned Gazeteers from other states I purchased this one. Not disappointed. Excellent maps, good detail, good physical construction for use on the road or just for the coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful looking, detailed map-book., July 19, 1998

DeLorme is the leader in large-scale map-books, but I was always slightly dissatisfied with their depiction of topography. With the Nevada Atlas, they have finally achieved a visual appeal to match the level of detail they have always provided. Traditional relief lines are enhanced by subtle, three-dimensional shading, so that one seems to be looking at an aerial view of the state. They have also refined rivers, lakes, roads, and other surface features to be more detailed and accurate. A welcome improvement!
