5.0 out of 5 stars Super detailed map of Louisiana back roads, December 27, 2000
By Marcy Frantom (Goldonna, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a necessary tool for researchers of local or family history. The scale is 1"=25 miles so you get incredible details of small roads, cemeteries and other structures. Names of small communities and physical features are listed. The areas are easy to locate by checking a map of the state as a whole (located in two places in the book). And the book is a convenient size to throw in the car for an adventurous road trip (the pages are glossy paper and easy to clean). I find I frequently give "The Roads of Louisiana" as a gift to friends who like to explore the back roads as much as I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars For those who love the road(s) less traveled..., February 7, 2005
Too many roads and not enough time and money. But you'll have a blast trying to decided where to go next. I love old cemeteries, roads and places of mystery. This book is invaluable to those who wish to seek just that. Louisiana is so full of these places, you are sure to keep busy for years.
I lived in South Louisiana for a bit and my weekends were full of country rides. I only wish I would have had this book at the time.
There is topography included, which is helpful to those who search for archeaological sites, or homesites, and helpful tourist information such as state parks, plantations and waterways boat launching sites, to name a few.
Even if you don't travel much, it's a very interesting book to just read. Especially if you're fascinated by maps.

A great deal too, if you've priced individual topos lately... (but not to mislead you Quads do have greater detail when it comes to contour of the land.)

So if you love adventure and need a reference guide to stay on the path of adventure, this book is a MUST have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Map Book, August 16, 2005
By Lynn Jacobs (Kenner LA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This map book is a very handy tool for anyone wanting to travel on the lesser known roads in Louisiana. It is broken down into smaller grids, and shows all types of roads, dirt, gravel, paved, etc. I highly recommend it.
