New England Recreation Mapping

New England has great places to vacation and enjoy the great outdoors. From camping to white water rafting, New England has something for everyone. In the 2009-2010 getaway guide for Massachusetts, there are plenty of suggestions for family trips. The guide uses more charts than maps to show various activities. It is a very visual guide in order to catch the reader's eye. Pictures portray Massachusetts recreation in a way that makes you want to pack right now. There are a few small maps in the guide, but they just show generalized locations of the activity. In the very back of the guide, there is a road map of Massachusetts, but it is a little small, and hard to use if one is trying to find a route. The other guide is very similar, except it's for New Hampshire. It uses photographs to pull you into the recreation being advertised. There is also a road map in the back, but again, a little small. As far as mapping the actual recreational activity, these guides aren't the best. They can tell you how to get to an area, but the maps don't show the actual state forest or campsite.
