This KC atlas seems very detailed and is a great help in finding your way around the city and suburbs.
The only problem I found was that it's not always easy to find the page you want quickly. They have added map numbers on all four corners of each page, indicating what page to go to next as you progress north, south, east or west. But then you have to thumb through a long ways sometimes to get to the next portion of the map, and you may have already missed your turn! But I can't think of a better solution - maybe just have your pages marked before you set out...

I needed a good street map to go house-hunting and it works great. Truth is, I really miss the Thomas Guide, but they don't make one for Kansas City. Thomas Guides are the perfect size and have a tough plastic cover. That's the only drawback to this one is that it is big, so it's awkward. Other than that, it works great.

If you have a fair idea of what part of town you are going to the front flap has a grid map with the relevant page numbers.

There is an extensive index in the back and the map pages to continue onto another page are marked on all 4 sides of each map.

The print and road lines are clearly marked and visible making a quick glance at the page a breeze to find your turn.

The only down side is the map can and will fall apart on you after a couple of years of heavy use.

I bought one two years ago and am just now getting another due to the pages falling out.

I am a local LTL truck driver and I would/could not do my job without this valuable tool.
