I first tried the Utah Atlas and Gazetteer- it has POOR detail...!,The Gazetter did NOT show many of the back roads (unimproved...), and is not very topographic (mountains...). VERY CONFUSING to try and follow!I "HIGHLY" recommend the!-Benchmark Utah... Road & Recreation Atlas (any state!) Excellent detail/topographic, and most of the unimproved roads/trails...!
I used this atlas on a recent trip to Utah in my truck camper. I visited National Parks and back country areas in southern UT. It's excellent for showing the public lands, landscape, and locations of camp grounds.
These Benchmark maps are the best when offroading in the unknown (and even sometimes in the known!). The maps are generally right on and the trails are numerically marked in conjunction with the state's or BLM's numerical markings. I like that mines and other items of interest are marked on the maps. We dont go offroading without our Benchmark maps, and if we are going to a new state we order that states Benchmark Road and Recreation Atlas.
I've had a couple map books like this. But this one is better. It really does make travel in the West Desert more fun. Not only does it show roads, but also elevation. The names of different mountains and mountain passes are a given, but this one even gives you the names of many old mines. The detail is excellent.
We got this map for our camping/hiking trip to Southern Utah. We needed a topo/relief map with great detail to identify roads, trails and campgrounds. We have Benchmark maps for some of the other states and we were not disappointed by the Utah version. It gives you a good "broader" picture of the land than the 7.5 minute topo maps can .. plus, it is usually more up to date. Of course, for cross country navigation while hiking one cannot beat 7.5 minute topo maps for the specific area.
Compared to the DeLorme Gazetter the backcountry byways in the Benchmark really exist. Even if there are no contour lines the maps are very detailed and good readable. Only the size could be a little more compact. To get a better durability I improved the cover with adhesive water-resistant foil.Im Gegensatz zu den DeLorme Gazetter stimmen hier auch all die kleineren unbefestigten Straßen. Es gibt zwar keine Höhenlinien, aber die Karten sind dennoch sehr gut lesbar. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die recht unkompakte Größe. Um die Lebensdauer zu verbessern habe ich den Einband mit selbstklebender Klarsichtfolie versehen.
I think Benchmark atlases and maps are the best maps available. The scale and detail is just what I need. I only wish I could carry the atlases on the motorcycle but they're just too big. The maps and atlases are perfect for planning and programing a GPS.
I live in the western US and RV a lot in the summer (and winter now that I'm retired). This is a great book for travelling to sightsee, visit parks, (State & US) or just roam. Get one for each state you plan or hope to visit!
