Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer - Tons of content
A wealth of information is included. This Atlas, like all in the DeLorme series of Atlas & Gazetteer references, are wonderful map resources. If anything, the level of detail, coupled with the topographic information, may seem a bit too much at first glace (if you are new to these guides). But if you're willing to spend a bit of time with the maps, you will find these guides to be very useful.

In addition to the maps and the useful indexes and cross-references, these guides include listings or location sources for hiking, camping, fishing, recreation areas, unique natural features (waterfalls, bridges, caverns, natural areas, etc. ), bicycle routes, horse trails, etc. And of course, GPS (Lat/Lon) coordinates are printed on each map.

Although the scale of these maps demand it, it would be nice if the guide book dimensions were a bit smaller. At 11" x 15. 5", it's a good size book, so it's not quite as easy to stow in the backpack or the motorcycle storage area, etc.

Overall, these are excellent guides for any traveler or outdoor enthusiast.

Virginia Atlas and Gazetteer, 4th ed
The accuracy is commendable, although I do have several minor suggestions for the immediate area where I grew up. Like all Gazetteers by DeLorme, the Virginia version is excellent. They are things that no one would know other than one who had lived there for a period of time. The Gazetteers are amazingly interesting and useful.

This is an old edition
This edition (4th edition) is an older one. WARNING -- WARNING -- WARNING

Delorme published a 5th edition in 2003. If you want the most currecnt edition you will need to look else where. This edition is copywright 2000 with information that appears to be accurate to 1999. New roads, etc not on this edition.

Although it will probably be acceptable for many uses, just make certain that you are willing to buy the older edition.
