The North Dakota Atlas & Gazetteer, and others in the series, include nearly everything you would expect to find on a map and more, including roads; railroad lines, current and abandoned; towns; rivers; lakes; the higher hills; Wildlife management Areas; federal and state land such as wildlife reuges and parks; fishing areas,; wildlife viewing areas, including what type of wildlife can be see; campgrounds; unique natural features; museums and other attractions; tribal lands; historic sites and trails.

These not only are in the maps, but many are cross-referenced in indexes.

There also is a complete index of place names and map features, plus marks fo using the maps with the Global Positioning System.

The other books in the Atlas & Gazetteer series are of equal quality, if you are interested in any ohter states.

You can't obtain so much informatin about North Dakota anywhere in 66 pages or the North Dakota Atlas & Gazeteer's price.

It's a true bargain, and a real service to outdoor enthusiasts and travelers.

The DeLorme maps include everything of interest in North Dakota to travelers. In addition to the roads, cities and airports included in standard road maps, DeLorme has included towns, lakes, rivers, intermittent water areas, current and abandoned railroad lines, historic sites, national wildlife refuges, state parks and recreation areas and campgrounds and what services are available at each. Wildlife viewing areas are listed including the types of wildlife which can be seen. Higher hills, coulees, creeks, fishing spots and tourist attractions are identified. North Dakota's unique natural features such as the Pembina Gorge in the northeastern part of the state and the remote areas of the Badlands are included. The sites are indicated on the maps and listed in indexes of various attractions. Also included is a full index of place names and features and marks for using the maps with the Global Positioning System. The GPS is a series of satellites used by the U.S. government for navigation, which when used with a GPS receiver, will provide accurate information about location, direction and speed of travel anywhere on earth.

"The newly published North Dakota Atlas & Gazetteer solves the problem for those looking for remote outdoor adventures in the state. It is an excellent outdoor and travel book, containing detailed maps of every township in North Dakota. Whether looking for Writing Rock State Historical Site northeast of Grenora, Skunk Hill northwest of Kidler, or Shell Lake south of Blaisdell, the Gazetteer shows plainly where each is located."
