BenchMark Road & Recreation Atlas-California Map Book

Benchmark's atlases include two major types of maps. In the California edition, recreation areas are emphasized on smaller scale maps, with details of each recreation area on the facing page, plus charts on climate for key areas. Most of the atlas is devoted to very detailed landscape maps, with outstanding shaded relief and elevations shown by color coding. The roads on these maps are actually field-checked, which enables you to distinguish between usable backcountry roads from those which are behind locked gates (and also shown). The maps also include a lat./long. grid for GPS users.

As a bonus, the atlas also includes a two-page landscape map of the US with the interstate system and other major highways, and another two-page spread of the western United States.
