Good:
- Covers Mexico and populous portions of Canada, as well as the United States
- Land area is divided into a simple grid, which is indexed in an easy-to-read national map in the front of the atlas
- Map edges are labeled with the next map in that direction
- Some areas, notably in the very urban northeastern United States have a special set of extra maps, giving needed detail of those areas
- City-specific maps are provided for a large number of large- and medium-sized cities
- Boundaries of city maps and "extra" maps are drawn on the regular grid maps
- Binding allows the atlas to lay flat
