Summary: The Roads of Texas
Comment: As an experienced backwoods traveler, I have logged more than 15,000 miles in back roads travels in Texas in the last 4 years. My wife and I do it for our hobby. Althought the Roads of Texas is not 100% accurate, it is the best I have found, and I can promise you, I go places, no one else wants to; to the very isolated old ghost towns, cemeteries, etc. Roads of Texas is usually very very accurate in pinpointing a location. If you want to travel the isolated Farm to Market roads of Texas, this is the book to have.

Summary: The best Texas road atlas, bar none.
Comment: I have been using this book extensivly for about four years and I would not be without it when I travel. Living in west central Texas and traveling rural roads as a storm spotter there have been several times this book has saved me much time and trouble. The detail and accuracy are simply amazing and I love the way that way that you can follow a road just by turning a page. Anyone looking for a Texas road atlas to use while on the road should buy The Roads of Texas.

Summary: As Complete As You Can Get
Comment: No, The Roads of Texas is not perfect. Some minor roads are not named, but that is because not all counties have completed naming or numbering their roads. Each new edition shows improvement in this aspect. There are also at least two situations where one map page does not completely join with the page to the immediate south so there is coverage gap of one to two miles. It does not show roads that are closed to the motoring public such as private, oil field or most US Forest Service roads. However, it shows ALL the state highways (the official state travel map does not) and all county maintained roads. Furthermore, the detail is much superior to the DeLorme product. If you buy other maps (Roads of Arkansas, Oklahoma, etc.) from this company, you may be disappointed that the detail is not quite as high as the Roads of Texas. There is an extensive index of towns and communities so you can avoid confusing Buda, Buna, and Bedias. Plus there is some history and lore included, so this is not just a book of maps. I have worn out one copy, had two others "appropriated" by friends and I am about to wear out my latest copy.
