The Milepost 2014
It seems like everyone headed for Alaska buys the Milepost. It's been
around for over 50 years now. We have one too but we don't rely on it for
objective campground information. It's sometimes hard to tell what is
editorial info and what is advertising.

Alaska Atlas and Gazetteer - DeLorme
When you are in Alaska you need a map to see what is on the other side of
that mountain range over there. Probably more mountains, or maybe some muskeg. This is
handy for locating those fishing streams you'll hear people mention. It covers the
whole state. It's not a road map, it's a collection of topographical maps. In Alaska it's
easy to keep track of the roads but not the villages, rivers, lakes, and mountains.
