ISBN 0-89933-201-3 156 pages Softbound Dimensions (in inches): 0.43 x 15.43 x 11.02 (by David Johnson, Webmaster) If you are planning an outdoors trip in Alaska, 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, which is © 2001. 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." Table of Contents The Atlas Alaska Approaches
