I have to agree with Tom on that one. The map is very large format, it do separate after you open close several times, also I can not find the small lakes I look for , their are small dots! The Washington Gazette Atlas for $12-14 is great tool to find that hard to find trail to fish or mountain bike or hike. Also tells a little about parks and recreation spots, its worth have it.

Frankly it hasn't been very useful for me. It's basically a large map (about 3' x 5' - scale of 1 inch = 8 miles) with an alphabetical list of lakes & streams. Not that you need a map to find Lake Lenice, but it doesn't appear on this one. Neither does the westside lake I fish frequently in the spring.
It does have a bunch of little creeks listed in bold letters as "selected fishing waters". I haven't checked these out, but maybe there are some secrets hidden here.
I still like the Delorme Atlas book. It's more detailed and can be opened & read while driving the truck. Mine is about 8 years old & is all torn up, but I've made so many notes on it that I don't dare replace it!
