Summary: Very helpful; has an idiosyncracy
Comment: The Northern California DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer is very useful if you're planning to travel on paved back roads or major dirt fire roads. But the scale of the maps, at 1:150,000, is too large to show the detail needed for certain outdoor activities. If you're mountain biking or hiking in remote terrain or on minor trails, you should get additional, smaller-scale maps for navigation and orientation.
There's an idiosyncracy that I hope DeLorme will correct in future printings: the atlas shows contours and elevations in meters. Why it does this I don't know, given that the Nevada and Colorado DeLorme atlases use feet. Because the U.S. remains committed to standard English measures rather than the metric system, presumably most users will want to work in feet and will have altimeters and global positioning devices set to the English system. It's irritating to have to convert to meters when using the atlas.
These comments pertain to the fifth edition, second printing (2000), of the atlas. It's been updated regularly in the past, so my observations may become obsolete.

Summary: Northern California Atlas & Gazetteer
Comment: Great resource for the camper and hiker. A little heavy to carry as topo maps; however, just as effective. Elevation in metric is a negative.

Summary: Delorme Disappointment
Comment: We are knee-deep in genealogical research including location of real properties bought and sold by our ancestors in Northern California as well as other States. The Washington State Atlas and Gazateer has been an invaluable resource for us in Washington since it provides a range and township system so one can zero in on an actual piece of real estate given the land description. We were very disappointed when our Northern Cal. Atlas and Gazateer arrived to find it had no such system. If one is looking only for detailed maps, this atlas and gazateer would be o.k.
