Credibility 5 Very High Research Value 4 High Cultural Interest 3 Moderate Visual Information 5 Very High Style 4 Stylish Silliness 1 Very Low Wow Factor NR Not Rated Bargain 5 Very High Explanation of Ratings Credibility: This catagory is a rating of the author's intellectual discipline and the strength of his argument (which are very high), not the veracity of his claims (which could be false in spite of the strong argument).

This is the one of the latest and best designed atlases in the impressive Delorme series -- long in coming but well worth the wait. Topographic map coverage of the entire state, accompanied by an extensive gazetteer. For the first time, a GPS grid is overlayed on every page, allowing easy reading of latitude/longitude coordinates. The atlas also provides comprehensive local information, including lists of every conceivable attraction and natural landmark. The index of place names is extensive, offering not just the populated places, but all the springs and ghost towns as well. Contains all the geographic data you'll need for a visit to Nevada or for general reference at home. -- Glenn

Features

• Topographic maps at a scale of 1:250,000 (1" = 4 miles)

• Contour lines plus shaded relief on the same map.

• GPS Grid on every map (to easily plot GPS coordinates)

• Massive index of place names, including obscure and unpopulated ones, like springs and ghost towns.

• Detailed tables listing Historic Sites, Scenic Drives, National Parks & Reserves, Unique Natural Features, State Parks, Casinos, Campgrounds, Golf Courses, Hunting Regulations, Fishing Areas, Hiking Trails, Wildlife Viewing Areas, Cross-Country & Downhill Skiing Areas, Attractions & Museums.

Weaknesses

• The map of the Rachel area still shows the old boundaries of the Nellis Range, before the Groom Range and White Sides withdrawals.

• We know from our own experience that a few dirt roads shown in bold red lines have not been passable in years, and some are sand traps. Caution must be exercised when exploring any non-paved road, even where a heavy red line is used in the atlas.
