Colorado Atlas & Gazetteer

User Review: - Colorado Atlas and Gazetteer, has POOR detail...!
This does not show many of the back roads (un-improved...), and is not very topographic (mountains...). VERY CONFUSING to try and follow!

I "HIGHLY" recommend the!-
Benchmark Colorado Road & Recreation Atlas (any state!) Excellent detail/topographic, and most of the trails...!

User Review: - DeLorme is great
These DeLorme maps are great. I plan on visiting the state of Colorado next fall and do some hiking while I am there and these look great. The details of the roads and all campsites are awesome. I plan to purchase more of these of other states.

User Review: - Colorado Atlas
Very poor details compared to the Colorado Road and Recreation Atlas. Do not even use it.

User Review: - Very useful but has its limitations
This map is part of a Gazetteer series that provides maps of each state in the Union. The scale is ideal for rural roads, and the maps show campgrounds, good fishing sites, bike trails, and destinations for other outdoor activities.

Conventional highway maps that you buy at gas stations or get from AAA don't have the level of detail necessary for rural destinations, so the Gazetteer is essential for route finding to these kinds of destinations.

The map shows topographical contours at a relatively course level, giving you a rough idea of the terrain. It also shows major trails, such as the Longs Peak trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, but the level of detail is not sufficient for hiking or off-road navigation.

The map also shades public land ownership, which can be useful for making educated guesses about access to trails and rivers -- but you still need to check ahead.

The map is *not* useful for driving in cities such as Denver, nor even in smaller towns such as Grand Lake, Estes Park or Boulder. At this scale, the map can't show street names, which is what you'd need. The Gazetteer would be more complete with 10 or so pages of town and city maps at the end.

One quirk of the Colorado map is that each page covering eastern Colorado covers the same amount of land as four pages in the rest of the state -- that is, it's at twice the scale. These are *really* empty counties, so the decision makes sense, but do be aware of this feature if using the map in that part of the state.

I think the title says it all. It is very useful. I got it really fast and it is flawless.
