5.0 out of 5 stars Great Atlas!, February 19, 2003

By	Casey A. Niemiec (Waukesha, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Missouri Atlas & Gazetteer (Paperback)

This is one of my most looked-at atlases out of the 15 or so that I own. I don't live in Missouri, but I have gone there on vacation a few times. It has come in very handy when I try to find some nice attractions around where I'm headed. And that's the reason I like it. Its gazetteer section is excellent! It includes: attractions, historic sites, hiking trails, mountain biking trails, unique natural features and more. With all of these activities to choose from it is easy to plan a trip using nothing more than this atlas!

The MO atlas is at 1:200,000 scale (the scale Delorme uses for nearly all their west-of-Mississippi maps). It is printed in the "type-B", as I call it, format. This is Delorme's more modern map style: larger font, different colored roads, and slightly overlapping topo maps. It has contour intervals at 120 ft, and is shaded relief for better perspective on topography.

Overall, if you live in Missouri or are going to visit Missouri you WILL want this atlas, so PICK IT UP!

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover Missouri easily!, February 19, 2002

By	churchfan (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Missouri Atlas & Gazetteer (Paperback)

Once again, Delorme atlases are the best way to go! I got the Missouri atlas soon after moving to Kansas City from Georgia. With this atlas, I have navigated many back roads and discovered some really neat areas in my backyard that I may not have discovered otherwise. These atlases are very easy to use and well thought out. If you can read a basic map, it's not too much of a jump to use one of these atlases. The amount of detail is amazing and really gives you the confidence to strike out on a dirt road you've never been on previously. Highly recommended!!

This review is from: Missouri Atlas & Gazetteer (Paperback)

If you love to get off the interstate highway and explore back roads, this atlas is for you. Major highways, as well as local roads are carefully detailed in this series.
