Backroads & Campgrounds
If you want to explore the backroads and find the best area's to go camping, without a lot of people next door, you need this book. It's nice to know that when you start into a remote area, whether you can expect to find quiet solitude around you, or a KOA campground...

No longer lost
My husband and I really love this map. It shows all the back roads as well as list names of some of the bigger farms in the area. We highly recommend this atlas to keep in your vehicle just in case you decide to take one of those "shortcuts" that leaves you in the middle of nowhere.

Finding trailheads and backroads were a breeze
I recently completed a two-month road trip, of which two weeks were spent in Montana. This atlas was a godsend, showing me forest roads that were not always noted on other maps. National forests, BLM lands, all were clearly shown in this atlas. I could open to whatever page I needed and find a campground, trailhead or a forest to camp in. Special notes of interest were also annotated, showing Lewis and Clark sites, Indian encampments and other historical events.

The accuracy of this atlas was impressive. For the Bozeman area I had a special map that showed that area in great detail. The details were so clear that when I finally left Montana for Wyoming, I felt completely lost without my Benchmark map showing me the way. All my old Delorme gazetteers will be replaced with Benchmark maps.

Since I use both Benchmark and Delorme maps, I've realized from my road trip that for western states that have greater public lands, the Benchmark atlases serve a better purpose than the road atlas of Delorme.

If you like the outdoors, enjoy hiking, camping and American history, this is the atlas for you. Scenic drives, bike trails, major trailheads and even waterfalls are noted here.
