Hoosier Highway Happiness
These are hands down, the best, most detailed, paper driving maps you will find. The details go all the way down to every litlle unpaved, unnamed, cowpath in a cornfield. Even the Indiana Department of Transportation Official Highway Map does not include all the roads that this does. When your digital world collides with analog reality, or you forget to bring it with you, these are the perfect backup. I wish Microsoft would use the Delorme mapping data used in these books for it's Streets & Trips product, instead of Navteq data.

Indiana Atlas
This is a great atlas. It guides you through the back roads that are not well known.

Bridge lover
As an avid covered bridge photographer, I have found these Atlases to be invaluable as a guide. The bridges (and other points of interest) are well marked and easy to find. My only complaint is that while traveling the book itself it too big and rather awkward to use without a navigator. A smaller book would be better. I will continue to buy them, however, as my search broadens.

Indispensable Indiana Atlas
My wife and I use this atlas on a near-constant basis for work and fun.With pinpoint accuracy it helps us determine exactly which of Indiana's 92 counties an obscure country back road resides.This is invaluable to my title-searcher wife, saving her many hours and miles of wasted traveling to the wrong county seat.When out on the road exploring the wonderful small towns of our state it helps us navigate through unfamiliar territory and find alternate, interesting routes that we would not have otherwise discovered.Highly detailed, easy to read and follow, I happily recommend this publication to anyone requiring a really good and useful local state atlas.

Indiana's best Atlas
This atlas is shows all the small roads and some long driveways, has GPS longitudes and latitudes, marks places of interest for day trips, and is useful for traveling the back roads to see the real Indiana. My wife and I are retired and are not usually in any hurry to get somewhere. This means we can drive the back roads to most places we desire to end up. With this map we actually get where we intend to go and still see some very interesting parts of Indiana. These maps are in constant use by us whether referencing locations mentioned in the news or in the van going somewhere. A great purchase with many uses.

Book needs an update
There have been so many changes since this book was published in 2000: trails extended - gps capabilities (which did exist then however coordinates aren't cited) - trails closed.This book is a starting point for hiking in Indiana.Yes - it's great that it indicates where things are - but guidance once you get there is a little lacking.

Needs an update for GPS - and a revisit to all the locations - frankly she she make this into an ebook.

Living Large
I have lived in Indiana for 16 yrs and have walked,hiked and horseback rode all the popular spots. This book has already found me a ton of new exciting places to go!

State park rehash
I was disappointed. A large part of this book draws on the Indiana state park system.Granted, the parks have some wonderful trails, but trail maps are distributed when you enter the parks. This book gives you little of theadventurous or out-of-the-way.

Wander Indiana with this great day hiking guide
Hiking Indiana is an organized guide to finding your way around on foot.When I opened Hiking Indiana, the first surprise was its "workbook" format - the pages are perforated on the edge to betorn out and packed.It's really a book to be used and become as worn outas a hiker after a good day on the trails.The first pages include a TrailFinder chart and a state map with numbers matching the table of contentsthat is organized by North, Central and South regions of the state.Thereare 45 parks or cities as chapters that include several Trail Sites andTrails.Park Facilities are shown by key icons, miles listed and TrailDifficulty Rating that is shown by 1 boot for easiest and 5 for mostdifficult trails.The chart also shows Terrain/Landscape with checkmarksfor hills, prairie/grass, forest, lake, wetlands, overlook andriver/stream.I was also surprised to see historic trails and city trailssuch as Madison's Historic District Walking Tour, Columbus' ArchitectureWalk, and Indianapolis' Canal Walk and Eagle Creek Bird Sanctuary Loop. There's even a canoe trail for those, as they said, with extra hour to givefeet a rest.There are maps of parks and trails, but you'll need youratlas or state road map to get to the site.The narrative is an easy readand informative. Sally McKinney includes cautions, such as the trail goesthrough remote, forested hill country and to let park officials know whenyou leave and expect to return, to check back in or park officials may golooking for you. Another caution is when you have to walk through shallowwater - a creek without a bridge, and which trails to watch for plenty ofdroppings from waterfowl.Hiking Indiana throws in tidbits on the state'shistory.Ouabache State Park has a Wildlife Exhibit Loop with bison, and'Did you know that a bison image decorates the Indiana state seal?' This isa book to leaf through and explore. I really liked Hiking Indiana since itis a good read, lets you explore places to go, and made it all interesting.I am ready and motivated to go from wannabe hiker to getting out the hikingboots. ...

Product Description
Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task--until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Vigo County, Indiana, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries.

Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds.

The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s.

This high-quality paperback book from the critically acclaimed Family Maps series measures 8-3/8" wide x 10-5/8" high. ... Read more

Recreational Map
I was disappointed in this map.It's not much better than
any road map, and doesn't provide any useful information
about points of interest.

great map
These are great reference maps for generalized recreational activities.Not as detailed as a topo map, but still packed full of outstanding information.I have one for every state and I don't leave home with out them.An improvement over simple highway maps.

Beautiful map, but scale too small
The map is beautiful and (reasonably) accurate, but its small scale limits its use for hiking. Many of the contours are so closely spaced, faint, or interrupted by text that they are nearly useless. The publishers tried to squeeze the entire national monument onto one map sheet, which makes for a good overview and planning map, but a poor hiking map.
Unfortunately, you have rather limited options, at least when it comes to paper maps: The USGS 7.5 minute topo sheets are great, but they don't show the trails, local hiking maps are hit and miss (some can be great). State-wide mapping software that lets you print customized hiking maps might be the way to go, but I haven't tried them yet.

Essential map for hiking Isle Royale
This map is part of the Trails Illustrated series covering many national parks.These are all sturdy and convenient.

Your map choices are essentially this one, the National Park Service map, and USGS topos.The NPS map is fine if you're staying at Rock Harbor Lodge and doing light day activities from that base.

If you're backpacking, or doing long day hikes, the Trails Illustrated map is absolutely essential because the USGS topographic maps are outdated.For example, the topo shows a no-longer-existent East Feldtmann trail on the southwest part of the island.

The topo also shows inaccurately the trail that goes over White Oak Ridge in the same area.The Trails Illustrated map shows the trails correctly.

This map also shows (1) group and individual campsites and (2) distances between trail junctions that accord with the NPS signage.Both features make it useful for planning your trip.
