4.0 out of 5 stars New Style OK But Not Great, August 2, 2005

By	D. Severson "mapreader" (Deerfield, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a huge fan of DeLorme State Atlas and Gazetteer books for 20+ years. I will never plan a trip without one. I find them absolutely indispensable and have them with me on any car trip, period. I do however have a preference for the older style of mapping used on the earlier editions. I used to own an old Utah Atlas and Gazetteer and much preferred it to the new one. The enhanced topo information and colorations are neat but the actual road mappings have a new style that are annoying to me. It is much harder with longer dashed lines for unimproved roads to determine whether the road intersects another one. Anyone who does backroading in Utah knows that when a road is near another on the map does not mean they intersect. One road could be 1000 feet below another and both will dead-end. It is not fun to plan a trip not being sure whether your road goes through. Although I still like the maps, I feel the need to have another topo source for backroads. I wish DeLorme would update their Atlas and Gazeteers in the old format rather than the 'slick' newer style.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Necesity for exploring Back Country Utah by Car, June 12, 2001

By	Carl Z (Bethesda, MD USA) - See all my reviews

There are a lot of dirt roads that cover the BLM and National Forests of Utah, and this book has them. It doesn't replace hiking maps, but if you have a 4wd or high clearance vehical and want to explore Utah on dirt roads, this is for you.

It also lists camping and fishing sites accross the state. A word of warning. Dotted red lines may only be passable by 4wd vehicals.

It would also be great for planning Snowmobile outings or 4-wheeler camp trips. Have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utah Gazatteer, July 4, 2007

By	Douglas Stone "dstone721" (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great maps as always from DeLorme.. I have 6 different states, great for fly fishing, fishing and hiking.. You can use the GPS cordinates to get to specific locations. A must have for the fisherman, hiker and camper.
