4.0 out of 5 stars Off the beaten track..., January 25, 2003

By	Joeham Joeham "joeham1999" (Lake Isabella, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used and enjoyed this Michigan atlas countless times for traveling back roads in pursuit of my many outdoor hobbies, which include birdwatching, fishing, camping, and hunting. Looking for alternate routes to avoid heavy traffic, or just to discover someplace new, it's been invaluable to me. However, it cannot replace a detailed county map, but who has all those? Another possible drawback is the lack of Forest Route numbers in the state's national forests. You will need to buy the appropriate National Forest map if you wish to wander there. Use this atlas together with a Michigan Department of Transportation map (free from the state) and you can go just about anywhere in the Great Lake State.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michigan Atlas & Gazetteer, January 5, 2003

By A Customer

Living "up North", I-75 is basically the only interstate running up the middle of the state. This book has been a huge help to us in helping us to avoid heavy travel periods, traffic accidents and tie-ups and even road closures. This book has gotten us off the beaten path more than a few times and we've also discovered some of the pretty little places our state has to offer. We highly recommend it and are always glad we have it in the car, when needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars delorme gazetteer series, March 7, 2006

By	Nate Benyousky - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the delorme gazeteer series is perfect for people who want to wander off of the main roads. my wife and i like to point the car as whim sees fit. the map has backroads with enought detail to let us find our wish and our way back. essential for indirect travel. also has marked 4wd trails to unknown wonders, as well as a smattering of known wonders (waterfalls, museums, fishing, camping...). not a replacement for usgs quads, but will make the travel to your hike more fun. if you are interested in exploring a state, or some portion thereof, the gazetteer series is an invaluable tool.
