- Book Review,
by Manufactured by Benchmark Maps
Bob Masullo, Sacramento Bee, March 31, 2002
Landscape Maps featuring improved landform detail, the addition of hundreds of back roads...useful to anyone who drives the state.
The San Francisco Chronicle, December 14, 1997
"Landscape Maps™", so three-dimensional you feel every bump in the road...more listings and a complete and seemingly infallible index.
Kathy Rankin, Western Association of Map Librarians. March, 1998
The Landscape Maps™ are what set this publication apart. Legibility is excellent and the maps have a clean appearance.
Book Description
From the mountains to the ocean, from the freeways to the trails, California is rich in geographical diversity and natural beauty. The recently updated and improved third edition of the California Road & Recreation Atlas captures the full scope of this magnificent state. The heart of the atlas is Benchmark's exclusive Landscape Maps™ - a unique illustrative cartographic style that, through the use of color and shaded relief, accurately depicts the physical landscape. These maps clearly show recreation information and road classes, from freeways to jeep trails, for the entire state at a scale of 1" = 5 miles (1:300,000). The California Road & Recreation Atlas also has 14 pages of newly styled "Metro Maps" of the four largest urban areas of the state: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento. The enlarged scale shows even more recreation detail than before. New features of the twenty-eight page Recreation Guide now include climate graphs, eight-classes of public lands ownership, shaded relief and point-to-point mileages. Campgrounds and RV Parks are grouped by region in an easy-to-use central index.
