I have never noticed any mistakes, such as roads not being where they are shown on the map. I've found these to be quite useful. I have 2 others besides Montana and have found them to be detailed enough that it is not hard to navigate even on unmarked dirt roads. The worst thing I have seen are rail lines that are gone that still show up on the map. These are far more detailed than the average road map and I think they are worthwhile if you're visiting an unfamiliar place.
It is a great feature to have the BLM lands marked as well as the back roads. These Delorme Atlas & Gazetters are wondeful. They show you many features not available through GPS, maps or other atlases. Good resources are also included in each states atlas. A good addition to anyone's travel tools.
When I received my copy of the Gazetteer I found 4 pages missing and 4 other pages duplicated. I ordered two other Gazetteers for Wyoming and Idaho at the same time and they were OK but since I discovered the problem while on our trip, the Gazetteer I purchased for Montana was effectively useless.
This atlas, like all the Delorme atlases of the states, shows in clear detail every possible feature of the areas: roads down to dirt paths, rivers and streams, railroads, and the contours and elevations of the land. Placenames are thoroughly listed, as are parks, campgrounds, and recreation sites for hunting, fishing, hiking, and biking. This is an excellent all-around reference work.
They tried to squeeze too big of a state into too small of a book. Detail is not on par with other atlases in this series. Should have been divided into an east and west set.
