Description

Benchmark Maps publish a line of state road atlases that include landscape and physical features of the topography, along with road and recreation information. Benchmark state atlases are created for people who need an authoritative reference to the natural beauty, culture, and history of the American West. Nowhere else will the camper, boater, traveler, hunter or armchair explorer find a more comprehensive guide and travel companion. There is a special emphasis on recreational activities and opportunities. Public land ownership information is also provided, and the atlases are thoroughly indexed. At the heart of the atlases are the richly detailed Landscape Maps compiled by skilled cartographers using the latest digital technologies. These maps combine shaded relief and hypsometric tints or land use imagery. Most atlases have a section of "Metro Maps", enlarged detail for getting around the urban areas. All atlases are field-checked by Benchmark staff. To get the best data, teams of field checkers drive throughout each state and conduct hundreds of information-gathering interviews. Benchmark atlases and maps are simply the clearest, the most beautiful, and the most up to date of any now published.
