If you are planning a an Alaska outdoors trip, you will find this map resource
to be VERY valuable. Many Alaskans use it as an overview, and then purchase
individual 1"=1 mile maps from the US Geologic Survey or retail map stores. I
have a well-worn copy of this book, and I use it constantly.
This book is more than just a re-print of USGS maps. DeLorme has
gone to considerable trouble to map recent roads, trails, and other human features of the
landscape.
We stock the newest edition of the book. This
edition includes GPS grids in recognition of the increasing popularity of these tools with
outdoor people.
Here's what the publisher has to say about this important resource:
"This is the only collection of detailed topographic maps covering
all of Alaska! The majestic mountains, immense glaciers, endless
forests and countless other features that make the 49th state such a special
place all stand out in bold detail on these rich, full-color maps.
Special sections in this Atlas include a temperature / precipitation /
daylight hours chart, a mileage chart from Alaska cities to numerous points
in Canada and the Lower 48; a map showing overland approaches to
Alaska
from the US Pacific Northwest through Canada; a polar view of Alaska in
relation to the rest of North America, Asia and Europe; and a fold-out map
showing all of Alaska with physical relief. There are also
street maps for the cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau.
And, because most of the state is remote wilderness, there is an Index of
Place names and Physical Features. You can use it to locate not only
cities and towns, but also mountains, peaks, rivers, lakes, bays, points,
and myriad other natural features as well."
