Book Reviews of Oregon Atlas & Gazetteer
Book Review: Best paper map around!
Summary: 5 Stars
I worked on a project with the Oregon DOT, in which I drove about ten thousand miles throughout Oregon in one summer. This map was the guide we used in our travels throughout the state, and it was a more up-to-date source of information than most maps. We had to drive to 160 total sites, half of which were local (county) roads, and we were always able to keep our location, even in some rural areas that were not well marked.
It's the best map you can find on paper, if you're looking for detailed information covering the whole of the state, from interstate highways to dirt roads in the mountains. That is, unless you want to spend a lot more than $20, or you want to print a giant mosaic of the state of Oregon from your printer.
It's not a map for those who are simply looking for street names in cities like Eugene or Portland... there's no 10-page blowup of urban areas in the state, this is a map that covers the STATE of Oregon.
This map is for those who are familiar with the area in which they are traveling. In my work, I did find two roads that were in rougher shape than I would have expected by just looking at the map... however, I was WELL off of highways (making short cuts that took hours off of our trip), and as such, I knew I couldn't expect every single mountain road to be perfectly maintained.
By that measure, I found a few roads that were surprisingly well-maintained, given the terrain and vicinity to populated areas. And I found some places that I will hope to take my children camping or hiking someday... thanks to this map.
Remember, there is no substitute for obtaining local information regarding the travel worthy nature of roads. This map is a great guide, but no map is perfect. Stop by local government offices (the BLM, Forest Service, City Hall, etc) if you're looking for more localized maps, because you will also find locals who can inform you of the condition of unimproved roads in the area. Road conditions often vary county-to-county, unless you're on state highways, as each county prioritizes funds differently (and especially in rural Oregon, there's not enough money for the vast amount of space that needs to be maintained).
Also, remember that road names can change from the time this map is printed, and the time you actually use the map (I encountered this issue more than once... though, in one case, not even Google Maps had been updated to include the new name of a particular road). Considering how detailed this map is, unless you're driving through a large city, you can almost always find the right road if you're looking and aware of your location.
