.Rand McNally World Atlas (Rand Mcnally World Atlas)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Rand McNally and Company

November 15, 2004
I was looking to replace my Rand McNally International Atlas which is 40 years old. The old atlas has 278 pages of detailed maps of the world. This atlas has only general maps that aren't really of much use. I'd love to replace my old atlas if I can find a new one with detailed maps.

.Colorado Road & Recreation Atlas
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Benchmark Maps

July 31, 2006
I had never heard of Benchmark Maps before but I thought I'd give their Colorado Atlas a try. After a three week hiking adventure in Colorado, I was very impressed with Benchmark. Their maps do a great job in depicting the campgrounds, trailheads, trails, elevations, and ,of course, the roads in the mountains of Colorado. The Benchmark Atlas was far superior to the competition. On my next hiking trip, probably to New Mexico, I will definitely buy another Benchmark Atlas.

.Horse Anatomy: A Coloring Atlas
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Robert A., DVM Kainer

November 01, 1998
At first the title of this book turned me off.

"A coloring book? No, I really need to learn about anatomy."

So glad my friends set me straight. I find myself refering to this book all the time when reading other books or thinking of how to help my horse's movement improve.

.Insight FlexiMap Buenos Aires (Insight Flexi Map)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: American Map Corporation

May 11, 2006
I bought this map for my first two week trip to Buenos Aires in 2006. Used it to walk around and BA is a great walking city. The map covers all the tourist areas of BA and I do not recall once something was wrong with the map. Included in the map is a diagram of the subway and on the map itself are the stops. Which I found helpful to find the closet subway stop to my destination. I can recommend this map for people who like to walk.

One more thing, the map is laminated so I could write on it and draw dots on it as a reference point.

.American Map Road Atlas 2009 Standard (Road Atlas: United States, Canada, Mexico (Spiral))
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: American Map

We have found this particular map to be extremely helpful on trips. Our last one was several years old but wanted an updated version. You can't go wrong with this map put out by American over others published by different companies. This is the best!

.Maps: Finding Our Place in the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: University Of Chicago Press

November 15, 2007

This book is a catalog for an extraordinary exhibition of over 130 maps at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore (in collaboration with The Newberry Library).

Some of my favorites include:

Photographic road maps produced for the first automobilists. Page by page the photographs show country lanes, farmhouses and churches with arrows indicating the correct route.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad of 1906, which shows routes of competing railroads in thin, spindly lines or not at all.

Harry Beck's great 1933 map of the London Underground, which shows none of London's geography except for the Thames.

The 1566 map ... Read More:

.Then and Now Bible Maps: With Clear Plastic Overlays of Modern Day Cities and Countries
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: Ascension Press

2004-04
I purchased this book, interested in learning more as I studied the Bible. I was very disappointed to see that the maps are very tiny, with several on each page. They are not very detailed and some of the maps have multiple overlays that I could not read through.

I also bought the Son Light Book of Bible Maps from Son Light Publishers. I like it much better because all the maps are full page size with only one overlay, and it's much easier to find what you are looking for and read. There are also more maps and some study guides and a timeline.

.Streetwise Downtown Chicago Map - Laminated Street Map of Downtown Chicago, Illinois - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated CTA lines & stations (Streetwise)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Streetwise Maps

January 02, 2008
Generally speaking Streetwise products are amongst my top recommendations for the tourist or newcomer to a city. Like others, this one provides good details about the location of key landmarks, is easy to read, and holds up under exposure to the elements.

However, for reasons unknown, the orientation of the map is off by 90 degrees, putting the lake (which is on the east) in what would typically be the "north" side of the map. For someone who has a natural feel for where "north" is at any time, and has been using normal maps for multiple decades, this makes orienting oneself unnecessarily difficult. I'm sure someone thought they were getting more real estate or something, but that simply isn't true--it is just a question of which ... Read More:

This is a great atlas for younger children. It is very colorful and has necessary facts, but not overwhelming. I recommend it for up to age 12.
