I like having a physical map with compass even if I rarely use them. This is durable and well-designed

I love this map series. They are my go-to maps for backpacking. They show campsites and shelters, which you usually have to scour the internet for. It shows trails and the distances--as well as the quality of the trail to some degree; for example, a black trail is well-maintained. A grey trail is THERE, technically, but isn't maintained by the park and might be obscure. I do wish the maps marked clear water sources (with, of course, the caveat that packers should always call the park to check on said source). Parking is clearly marked and if the portion of the part costs money to enter. It shows rock climbing areas. It shoes fishing areas.These are also waterproof. I'm glad I keep it with me when I hike; I've run into a few hikers here and there who are turned around and I can show them where they are and where to go. The map is so clear that, literally, in about 30 seconds, the hiker knows what direction to go and some marks to look for (like a lean-to or lake). I also use this map to start researching a trip. I just put out the map and look at the distances and presence of water or whatever. If you see an area, for example, with A LOT of parking, that area is probably more congested than you want. I'd recommend this map to anyone of any hiking level.

The material and resolution of this map is spectacular. I like how it even has mileages for the state trails. The one issue I have with it is that it's missing important private trails to several of the high peaks. There are no trails marked on this map for the Seward Range, Santanoni Group, Allen Mtn, Cliff Mtn, Table Top, and a few others.You can sharpie in these trails by hand from the kml's located on lakeplacid.com

This is the go-to map for planning a trip to the Adirondack Eastern High Peaks Region (or surrounding areas like Dix, Giant, or Hurricane). The map looks great and is very detailed on trails, herdpaths and leantos. It's made from a heavy water-resistant paper and has held up well being carried around through rain and snow without much protection. The region it covers is huge, but it still has fine detail and is quite zoomed in. As a consequence, the map is very large, especially when fully unfolded.The one downside to this particular map is that it is too big to be used easily while on the trail. I use it mainly for planning my route. Once I know where I'm going I'll use the natgeo software (not included here) to print out a smaller map that focuses on just the trail I'm taking. I do always bring this with me in my backpack though, just in case I end up needing it (lost on the trail, last minute trail closings, etc).

Bought this and a few others for a brief trip. Good quality but make sure you select the map# based on the area of interest

This is the second time I've bought map 742, the first one did acquire a lot of wear and tear but was always useable. This new one seems to be identical plus the revisions, the main difference is the ink is a slightly lighter shade. Anyway, these are beautiful maps, durable and great for planning hikes. The mileages markers are well done and helpful. Probably would want something with more detail or a GPS for bushwhacking. The hundreds of lean-tos shown seem accurate, having been to a few dozen of them without problems. The main revision this edition of 742 won't include is that Duck Hole was wiped out by a storm in 2012.

I found this to be useful and the elevations and roads . It does not show the trails to Santioni / Panther. It also shows a trail to the Garden Parking Lot (just below Johns Brooke) that is no longer maintained or passable.I still use it and find it has some charm, but One might aks "Why did they cover up the map with unneeded information panels"? Well perhaps the AMC might not want you to realize that their is a lot more places to stay other than their lodges. A lot more to do.
