Not very useful. I am a person who likes to discover the back country by using the "hidden" roads. But for this purpose this atlas is useless.
1. All roads have the same color (red). No color distinction for the importance of the road, meaning you don’t know what is a farm road, what is a highway…. O.k. the line may be thicker or thinner but why not use a different color?
2. You can not distinguish between paved roads, gravel roads and dirt roads. All roads are solid red lines. I often like to take the unpaved roads. Just for the fun of it. And sometimes I like to know which ones I should not take when hauling my travel trailer.
3. No indication if it is a private road (closed) or if it is a public road.
4. No numbering of small back country dirt roads. You have almost no chance to map the road sign you just see from your car to a road on the map.
If you need a road atlas from Texas that shows you all the necessary "backcountry" details then go with the "The Roads of Texas" from the Texas A&M University. This is not perfect either but much better than the Gazetteer.
The Gazetteer people should have a look at the Benchmark maps. These guys know how to make maps. Unfortunately they don’t have one from Texas.
I use the DeLorme Gazetteers extensively for retrieving hang glider pilots who fly cross country and often land in somewhat inaccessible places. We swear by them — they are truly indispensable for us. Maybe it’s because Texas is so big, but the detail in this one is not nearly as good as the others. This makes it hard to distinguish those little dirt roads from each other, my main concern. But my BIG complaint is that the pages started to fall out of the perfect binding (all the other states are saddle stapled) almost as soon as I started to use it. I’m hoping that the next printing will fix this!
The atlas has good detail with mapping, however the quality of the material or workmanship is very bad. I modrately used the book two weeks and entire pages came out of the book. The paper is breaking at the binding on several pages. I DO NOT recommend this product
