A publication packed with useful information that is easy to understand. A must for any traveler heading to the last land frontier in the United States. Besides superior and information packed maps, the Alaska Atlas & Gazetteer provides readers with amazing insight into the culture, the settlement, the exploration and the little known facts that help readers develop an overall understanding of the state. The publication provides a remarkable insight into the Native-American population. Finally it provides pointers on where to go. I used this publication to plan my entire first visit. I love information on paper. The maps alone are worth hundreds of dollars.
