Various types of protected areas are distinguished by the colouring of their boundaries, e.g. national or state parks, forests, etc. Also marked are Indian Reservations and restricted entry military zones. Road network is shown in much more detail than on other state mapping, with local roads, unsurfaced back roads and tracks, forest trails, etc. Where appropriate, old historical routes are marked. Railway lines and local airports or landing strips are included and the maps also indicate administrative boundaries. Symbols highlight various recreational areas and facilities such as campgrounds, unique natural features, etc. Each title contains extensive lists of outdoor adventure sites (grouped into activities such as hiking, biking, paddling, fishing, skiing, etc.), diverse family outing sites, campgrounds, and tables showing what facilities can be found in the state’s recreational areas.
