Benchmark's new Washington Road & Recreation Atlas continues the renowned cartographic excellence and ease-of-use that distinguishes this award-winning series. Highlights include 80 pages of Landscape Maps scaled at three miles per inch and a 22-page Recreation Guide with a full complement of recreation categories by region. The guide has its own set of maps with complete public lands information. A special Seattle-Tacoma Recreation Guide with enlarged map and expanded recreation categories is also included. If you love to explore the Evergreen State this innovative reference work is invaluable.
Benchmark Maps produce the best maps of Pacific Northwest states, in my opinion. These are essential for serious road trips, especially when your GPS fails. The print quality is excellent, and the size of the type if just right for the amount of information it conveys. I've used other maps where the type is so small that it's almost impossible to read or the paper rips when you've folded it too many times. I'm on my third copy only because I wore out the first two.
