If you need to locate a remote village or river anywhere in Alaska this will do it. Great detail, clear and well organized to find places quickly. To big for travel but great for the office.

the map has every detail that we need for planning a trip to Alasks. With this map, you don't need the 1x1 USGS map. However, this map book is kind of too big to carry on a light hiking.

This Atlas & Gazetteer is excellent. It is highly usable and the right scale for my use.

I have used this product in two trips to Alaska. One was by cruise ship up the Inside Passage. It helped me understand the elevations and contours of the land we went through and explored.

Our second trip was by road up the Alcan Highway. Again this product was helpful and educational. The retreat of glaciers are distinct compared to the date the map section dates. Combining this with our GPS made our trip much more interesting.

Anyone driving to Alaska is well advised to buy this product.

We have used our first copy until it is ragged. Because we travel a lot within our state of Alaska, this is a perfect resource to have in the house. A must for tourists expecting to travel in our state.

Other than the fact that the scale is way to small at 1:250,000 this is a valuable resource that is very useful. I carry one of these for every location that I go.
Go idea to tape the pages because the stable binding falls apart with use

We were on a driving trip in Alaska and wanted a map with details about the terrain as well as roads. This altas fits the bill. Our only complaint is that almost everyone in Alaska uses "milepost" numbers on the main highways as landmarks and even their street address in some places, and those reference points are not included along the roads on the maps. Even so, it was a big help for our trip.

Alaska Atlas by Delorm has more bang-for-your-buck than any other map product I have seen. The only other map product that even compares is the 7.5 minute USGS National Geograhics State Series maps on CD (but they are much more expensive and require printing.) Delorm is not as detailed as the 7.5 minute USGS topo maps, but they are in my opinion grahically more pleasing to the eye. Bottom line, for the price, you probably will not find topographical maps of this quality anywhere else.

Complete, detailed, with all information you may need. A must and in a large format. If you plan to travel to Alaska by any means, do not miss this!

The sheer size of Alaska tends to defeat what would otherwise be an unbeatable map collection for most states in the lower 48. A second challenge is the very thin transportation infrastructure in Alaska; huge areas of the state are not on the limited road network and can be reached in a timely manner only by air. Enormous swaths of wilderness have no transportation network at all.

The DeLorme "Alaska Atlas and Gazetteer" is an excellent resource for trip planning. Used in conjunction with the most recent "Milepost", the average travelor can reach any point in the state accessible by road and plan entry into many other areas. However, the scale of the maps is insufficient for detailed off-road route planning; deep country hikers, hunters, and fishermen are advised to seek more specialized map products.

This Atlas is highly recommended to the traveler in Alaska looking for a compact map resource. It is also a good starting point for planning trips in determining where more detailed map products will be needed.

This atlas is a tremendous fount of information for those travelling Alaska or even just interested. It even has GPS coordinates!

Excellent. Well worth the price.

A must have for any Alaska adventure traveler! Very useful information presented well - as are all the Delorme atlases.

A MUST, and best combined with Mileposts. A huge State with few roads, there are around every turn unexpected, jaw-dropping sights. Move the front seat passenger to the back and keep this volume open on the passenger's seat for easy reference... pulling off the highway before you do so.

For all those FS bush pilots out there, flying in Alaska, this is a 'must have' publication. The only 'issue' I have with it is the paperback binding, making it a bit difficult to lay flat on the desk. Essential for learning the environment and for VFR flying on your PC. And... fo course.. if you plan a trip to Alaska for real, this too is one to study beforehand ! Been using it for years now and can highly recommend it.

Good tips you may not find anywhere else. Gives their reasons for the RV they took and the route they selected. I could have done with fewer comments about the all you can eat places.

This atlas appeared as a "recommended item" for me by Amazon.com. I noticed I had a dog-eared, rumpled copy next to my chair and thought I'd give it an honest review.

First of all, what it ISN'T. The topographic maps certainly don't contain "unbeatable detail." For example, right now I'm planning a trip in the Brooks Range in northern Alaska. In that area of the state, the map scale is 1:1,400,000, where 1 inch represents about 22 miles! Not much detail available on that scale.

The regions most people are traveling in, however, are on a much more detailed scale of 1:300,000, where 1 inch = 4.8 miles.
These maps cover the areas where most people live and hunt and fish and backpack and boat in Alaska. (For comparison, the most commonly used topographic maps obtained elsewhere are at a scale of 1:24:000 for most of the U.S. and 1:63,360 for Alaska.)

The Atlas IS an invaluable reference for planning and quick reference. I try to keep mine handy, and reference it very often. It is much, much faster and easier than trying to download or find individual topo maps.

There's a very handy map index on the back, showing each map's page and area. On the second page there's a two page fold-out relief map, in color, showing Alaska's mountain ranges, rivers, etc. There's a map legend inside the front cover, and a Table of Contents on page one, and the back. There are other interesting and useful features like the average temperatures and daylight hours from Nome to Anchorage to Juneau.

This Atlas is similar to a compact camera: it may not have quite as many features, but it's handiness often makes it even more useful.

it is difficult to use and really too large to handle on a trip.

Good book, but a useful feature would be a road mileage chart for those Alaska cities and towns which are connected to the road system. For instance it is very difficult using the Gazetteer to determine the highway mileage from Anchorage to Talkeetna. A simple chart similar to the one you have for more far-flung destinations like Seattle etc., would be a welcome addition to the Gazetteer.

This is an atlas that anyone planning to drive to Alaska should have, but the clear, readable maps are marred by the paper they were printed on. The paper is stiff, which makes turning pages difficult. Too bad, because this is a very good atlas.

Excellent detail including roads, trails, fish species, campgrounds, everything you need to get around in the last frontier. I've lived here all my life and still won't take a trip without it.
