As good as you are going to find for this type of atlas
With this being said, it not as detailed as one may need in the back country. This atlas is much more detailed that ones like it, such as Benchmark's recreation atlas. I mainly use it to provide a general overview of the region I am exploring, and to locate common places. Main forest service roads are visible, yet no all are marked with a name or number. I use it in conjunction with USGS topo quad maps, forest service map, and GPS, and serves it purpose very well.

The Best For Wilderness Travel
If you're interested in a road atlas, something to use while traveling around in the safety of your vehicle, then get a Thomas Guide (the best ROAD atlases in the world). For wilderness travel the Delorme atlases are the best maps I've found to have in your pack aside from a backpack full of USGS and Forest Service maps. The Delorme atlases show you all the land features, topography, public lands boundaries, and waterways (even the minor and intermittent ones). I've used three of these atlases while traveling on foot through the national forests, and they have literally saved my life many times. Finding locales and navigating inside the map is simple and easy, much simpler than the Benchmark series which don't seem to have a workable navigation key at all. The one and only complaint I have about these atlases are their size; they're huge, and for an atlas whose contents seem to be designed for wilderness travel that large size just sucks when trying to find pack space for it. Fortunately, they fold in half easily, which helps a lot.

Great reference book
It provided a lot of helpful information and I find it pertinent for the full enjoyment of any road trip. My Oregon oversized atlas arrived promptly and I used it recently for a trip along the Oregon coast.
