This atlas and gazetteer is the perfect scale - about 4 miles to the inch. It is big enough to include back roads and details, but small enough that you are not constantly flipping pages if you are on the freeway.Covering the state in 53 maps, it would measure about 5 x 8 feet if all on one page.In addition to the maps, there is an index of place names, recreation areas and facilities, fishing and hunting locations, campgrounds, wildlife viewing, family outing suggestions, and a page of the Grand Canyon.
Elevation, rivers, places to camp etc are just a few of the things in these books. I have purchased these for Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado and Utah so far. They are great to take along on a road trip as they are very detailed and show you where so much is. I will continue to buy other states based in the western U.S. as I plan to continue to take road trips.
This Delorme topographical sure beats out all the other maps I have been using. We do alot of back country riding on motorcycles and this map gives us a clear view of elevations, routes, etc.
The sectioning of Arizona in this atlas was not what I expected and I had to resort to an old US atlas which showed the all at once state and major routes.
While there wasn't the detail I'd hoped for I believe it'll be an asset while traveling.
