1. A good map for drives around eastern West Virginia - a lot easier to follow and less cumbersome than the West Virginia road atlas that we had been using. The street maps look good too, though we haven't had any reason to use them yet.

1. Unlike some guides, which are really a list of the author's favorite trails, this one lists all of the trails in the Mon. Anywhere you want to go, this guide will tell you what the trail is like and how to get there. Overall, it is a very useful book.



2. Not my cup of tea, way too detailed nothing about horses which is why I got it.



3. This is a very good book for MNF hiking. It also includes information about which trails would be good for ski touring. It includes good trail descriptions, topo maps, area maps, contact information and some photos. There is also a trail rating system for things like scenic beauty, which I found to be helpful.
   
   The trail descriptions refer to the topo maps in the book and include highlights of the trails. The trails are also marked on the topo maps in the book.
   
   The book is divided by Ranger Districts within the Forest, which makes covering this huge area of forest more manageable. It also includes information about other areas in the Forest such as Blackwater Falls State Park.
   
   Having used this guide I definitely recommend it. The only downside to such a comprehensive book is that it is a little bit too heavy to be carried on the trail. I have used it for planning purposes and have purchased the USGS topo maps to carry while hiking.



4. This is the DATABASE of the MNF Trail Network. This book includes the following: Trail #'s (TR#); Trail Names; WVa 10 Highest Peaks; Type of Trees; When & How to enjoy hiking & backpacking; MAPS; structure and use
   of the 'Guide'; Ranger Districts; Table of Trails (notes/intersections/distance/elev. min-max/TR#) THEN......a thorough detail of each TRAIL (TR#, Trail Name. Scenery, difficulty, distance, conditon, elevation, segments, access, photographs). Recommended literature, and solicitation to "help improve this guide".

1. This is a great collection of selected maps from history -- my favorite is the one of a skinny North America, with the Pacific Ocean right on the other side of the Appalachains. The title is somewhat misleading, since the book is mostly a compilation of the maps that were published well before the Lewis and Clark expedition. The descriptions of each map are brief, and the author often references other maps that aren't included in the book; I find myself really wanting to see one depiction of the world or another that's described but not presented. Overall this is a pretty cool book, though, especially if you've never seen some of these old maps.

5 comments about West Virginia Atlas & Gazetteer.

1. I bought this West Virginia Map and Gazetteer in order to help my husband and I find our way through WV. We're most interested in the topography - elevations, rivers, creeks, etc. I would recommend using this book map in conjunction with a regular road map, because there isn't quite enough detail for smaller roads, but it's a great place to start.



2. This atlas fills a void because it gives a very clear picture of the terrain as well as roads. I like having these atlases along to give the context for hiking excursions, as well as showing the back road ways to get there. The section on special sights to see in WV is very helpful as well. There is no substitute for more detailed topographical maps for actual hiking trails, but this atlas is a necessart intermediate step between topos and road maps.



3. This book provides complete and thurough topographical maps for the entire state of West Virginia. If you enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, exploring in this great state, you need this atlas. At first I was surprised at the details provided in this book. I was able to find even the smallest of streams and geographical features. Now, after using it so many times, I would be surprised if a stream is not on this map.
   
   The bottom line is that you need this atlas if you enjoy the West Virginia outdoors.



4. Once again this series of maps has been outstanding. The ease in reading and applying the info to the road is way above par. And for railroad enthusiasts, this is the only map published with railroad details that are current and precise.



5. Like other Delorme atlases, this is nicely detailed - though like other atlas, it can be annoying to use when you have to move from one page to another to follow a route. We also purchased (on Amazon) a Martinsburg - Charles Town - Eastern West Virginia road map that would be a better choice if you are looking for something to use while driving around Eastern West Virginia.
