Were there any other Atlas/Gaz to compare it too, one might find some fault, but otherwise it is the primo source for both onroad and offroad travel, by foot, wheel, or boat. It's a little tough to fit into a daypack, but it has SO much carto data you really can't get lost for lng. Even the fireroad locations are pretty good. Some offshore topo data along the coast would be a nice addition to aid in birding and marine life watching. All in all -- It's the one to have.

This book of maps, while expensive, is so much better than those cheap maps being carried by all of the convenience stores and gas stations that there's no comparison. If anything, the level of detail is overwhelming. There's no better way to plan a trip on the less-travelled roads of Oregon.

My tour of Oregon would have been far less exciting without Delorme's Atlas. As with others in this series it is not only a great source of detailed local maps but filled with general information about the area, along with specific locations of towns, scenic areas and special destinations, even if they are on obsure or little used roads. As a waterfall fan I was especially pleased with the ways they were included on the maps. I would have missed many of these and other interesting sights without the guide. Never travel without a Delorme.

Road depiction is very vague. Difficult to read. Somewhat useable with AAA maps. For the best maps see the series by Benchmark Maps. I have used their maps in New Mexico, California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona. Unfortunately, they do not have many states. I use the Delorme "Utah" with my AAA maps.
