Rating: Summary: Great Camping Companion Review: I found this special atlas to be a visual treasure map. I have traveled over much of Oregon, once on a field trip for a combined graduate class of paleontology and stratigraphy students at the University of Oregon, and I enjoyed reminiscing while viewing a more three dimensional-looking map of many of the sites we had visited.Both the Recreational and Landscape sections are very useful and informative when planning a future trip, or just to "armchair travel." Reading the maps can be both a history and a geology lesson.

Rating: Summary: Landscape Maps reveal Oregon's best with clarity and detail. Review: Oregon Road & Recreation Atlas, from Benchmark Maps, makes traveling fun by combining the beauty of large-scaled Landscape Maps with a complete Recreation Guide. The 112-page atlas has over 80 pages of custom produced maps and thousands of recreation listings. Incredibly detailed and accurate yet practical and user-friendly.
Rating: Summary: very complete Review: The details of road system seems very accurate. Topographic sections of various landmarks makes travelling through an area more interesting.
Rating: Summary: Great Camping Companion Review: The relief maps are wonderful at making the terrain visible, but the strength of this atlas is how clearly it shows the roads - all of them including forest roads - paved, gravel and dirt. The depiction of campsites is also very complete. Unfortunately the campsite listings are not nearly as comprehensive as the map, so you will want a separate campground guide to for amenities and descriptions. Also appreciated, the overlap between maps on different pages is generous - finally a map book that doesn't leave you on the edge, flipping pages!
Rating: Summary: Better than any other map book or Software program Review: This book has roads in that my MapPoint 2003 program said didn't exist. So to see who was right-we built a backroads trip using the book and the software-and the book was absolutely correct. It is easy to read, gives great places to see and fun things to do as well as an incredibly detailed map-down to showing you were the gates are on private roads. Clearly the best--no doubt about it.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding, easy-to-use road atlas with great detail. Review: Used this to travel from Weed, CA to Redmond, OR last weekend and just loved the high detail, relief map format. Far superior to the contour line maps and/or "flat" roadmaps. The format made it easy to locate landmarks, unmarked forest service roads, etc. A must for off the interstate trips across this gorgeous state! Two thumbs up!
