North Carolina Atlas and Gazetteer
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.75/5 from 4 reviews Best book for finding NC trout streamsI am a full-time fishing guide in the mountains of North Carolina and I have found this book to be the absolute best reference material for finding trout streams in our mountains. If you do any type of outdoors activities you will benefit from this book. A great readWhen I first picked it up I couldn't believe the detail. A real page turner. From Nag's Head to Asheville, its a book I just couldn't put down. The best atlas, but has room for improvementI own several of the DeLorme state atlases. They are great resources for the planning of non-motorized touring (biking, hiking). Strengths include: (1) Physical land features: topographic contours, water resources, vegetation, etc. (2) Off-road options: trails, abandoned railroads, ferries. (3) Recreation: Parks, outdoor sports, points of interest. DeLorme's atlases have two shortcomings: (1) Road naming is too creative. Many of the printed names bear no relation to actual road signs. (2) There's no indication of whether a road is paved, gravel, dirt or sand--every road is shown by a thin, red line. Consult "The Roads of North Carolina" for pavement info. All in all, a "must" for the do-it-yourself traveler. | ||||||||||||||||||||
