The new edition is distinguished by the addition of all-new maps and other refinements.

The heart of the atlas is Benchmarks exclusive Landscape Maps (tm) - a unique illustrative cartographic style that, through the use of color and shaded relief, accurately depicts the physical landscape. These maps clearly show recreation information and road classes, from freeways to jeep trails, for the entire state at a scale of five miles to an inch. The atlas now has 14 pages of all-new Metro Maps of Los Angeles, Bay Area, San Diego and Sacramento, produced in the Landscape style. The new enlarged maps show even more recreation detail than before. Other new features of the twenty-eight page Recreation Guide include climate graphs, eight-classes of public lands ownership, shaded-relief and point-to-point mileages. Campgrounds and RV Parks are now grouped by region in an easy-to-use central index. Make the Benchmark California Road & Recreation a part of your next adventure in the Golden State.
