 Useful and Easy to Use July 28, 2008
Has everything including the 'off-road' trails in the mountains. Did you know there are off-road trails in Orange County? I didn't know until I got this atlas.
 Back roads March 30, 2008

This is an excellent map book that makes the distinction between hard-pack secondary roads and paved secondary roads. I do a lot of California back roads on my motorcycle and found this to be the best of the map books.
 I was a little dissapointed November 21, 2007

I expected a little more backroad detail, info, & ease of use from (what I thought was) a Topo atlas. Amazon as usual had the best deal. Its a good CA map, but not the detailed topographical map like the ones you get from Ranger stations I had hoped for? I read on other 4x4 websites that this was a topo atlas, not so.
"Must Have" map for California Traveler October 17, 2007
I purchased this atlas for motorcycle touring in California, and as a map collector, this is by far the best small-road atlas of California I have ever seen. The relief is excellent, they show a multitude of small roads, and could spend years going through this atlas looking for day trips on the bike. This shows roads much better than a topo map, and relief much better than a road map. It is the best blend of what a traveler needs for unfamiliar roads in California. I have to keep an eye out for updates when this one gets old!
Great product October 4, 2007
Benchmark Atlases are the benchmark from which all other road atlases are measured. My GPS nav system, as well as Google maps, will direct me to take dirt roads as part of a 'shortest route.' This is not an acceptable route on my Goldwing. These detailed maps clearly and precisely show the type of road from interstate to 4-wheel drive. It has helped me avoid bad routes numerous times. I also have one DeLorme Atlas (Nevada). The DeLorme has topography on the maps, but the lines are faint and tough to see and not detailed enough for real topo use. The Benchmark maps do not have topography, but they have a decent representation of elevation through coloring and shadowing. From cross-country travel to back-road use, I recommend Benchmark.
