With its 70 grids across the entire state, the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer is an invaluable tool for planning and accomplishing adventures across Maine, or simply getting around unfamiliar areas. That remains especially true in the many parts of the state without great (or any) cell or internet service. With all the technological capabilities and apps that come with both new cars and new phones these days, you might be lulled into thinking a collection of hard copy maps could be a bit obsolete. But in this, you’d be wrong. Some of Maine’s most rural areas are simultaneously home to some of the best adventures and some of the worst connectivity. Happy adventures, and don’t forget to bring that torn, coffee-stained guide along for the ride.
