delorme gazetteer series March 7, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
the delorme gazeteer series is perfect for people who want to wander off of the main roads. my wife and i like to point the car as whim sees fit. the map has backroads with enought detail to let us find our wish and our way back. essential for indirect travel. also has marked 4wd trails to unknown wonders, as well as a smattering of known wonders (waterfalls, museums, fishing, camping...). not a replacement for usgs quads, but will make the travel to your hike more fun. if you are interested in exploring a state, or some portion thereof, the gazetteer series is an invaluable tool.

We previously owned the Minnesota version of this Atlas. Recently we bought the Michigan version and found it very helpful on a trip to the UP of Michigan. The great detail in the maps helps find the small things the state maps leave out.
gazateer review July 25, 2005 1 out of 8 found this review helpful
At over a three month wait, this was a very delayed delivery. In fact I have a second order that I placed May 4, 2005, that has still not been delivered. I really feel that you shouldn't advertise items that you don't have available and can't deliver, stating one delivery date, then another, now a third delivery window. I'm glad we received the 1 book, but am still waiting for 3 others. It's been over three months now!
Off the beaten track... January 26, 2003 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I have used and enjoyed this Michigan atlas countless times for traveling back roads in pursuit of my many outdoor hobbies, which include birdwatching, fishing, camping, and hunting. Looking for alternate routes to avoid heavy traffic, or just to discover someplace new, it's been invaluable to me. However, it cannot replace a detailed county map, but who has all those? Another possible drawback is the lack of Forest Route numbers in the state's national forests. You will need to buy the appropriate National Forest map if you wish to wander there. Use this atlas together with a Michigan Department of Transportation map (free from the state) and you can go just about anywhere in the Great Lake State.

Living "up North", I-75 is basically the only interstate running up the middle of the state. This book has been a huge help to us in helping us to avoid heavy travel periods, traffic accidents and tie-ups and even road closures. This book has gotten us off the beaten path more than a few times and we've also discovered some of the pretty little places our state has to offer. We highly recommend it and are always glad we have it in the car, when needed.
