5.0 out of 5 stars If the Delorme Atlas and this one combined, whew!, September 18, 2003

This review is from: The Roads of New Mexico (Paperback)

We'd have all had to find something else to spend money on. I have both in several states. The end of the road features .... when a two-track becomes a cow trail, are better on these than on Delorme. On the other hand, Delorme has Long/Lat in the margins, contour lines and prettier features. These just have solid information indicating everything from a fence to a farmhouse. I wouldn't want to have to choose one over the other. Nice to live in a world where a person can own both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent backroads atlas of New Mexico, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Roads of New Mexico (Paperback)

This is an excellent backroads atlas to the state of New Mexico. We have used it on several backroads adventures since it was published in 1990 and have found it indespensible. It's similar to the DeLorme atlases, but a little easier to read, I think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for back road explorers, December 31, 2000

This large format atlas is roughly equivalent to the Delorme New Mexico atlas, but isn't nearly as pretty. There are no contour lines or land-use boundaries, just B+W road maps. The base data is different, however, so it could be a useful supplement to Delorme. This one comes from official State of New Mexico maps, so it contains information on the status of dirt roads that Delorme doesn't have (since Delorme comes from USGS sources). If you do a lot of dirt road exploring, this atlas could be very helpful. Outside of big towns, this atlas even shows individual houses and windmills.
