Each atlas is roughly the size and thickness of current U.S. road atlases, w ith a wealth of cartographic detail on rural and subur­ ban areas that cannot be found in other sources. Nearly every geographic feature and dirt road has been identified, making it hard for hikers or other rough-country travelers to get lost. The Delorme Company’s goal is to supply the outdoor aficionado with the most comprehensive, detailed, accurate, and easy-to-use map available.
