Beat Canadian road atlas

I like the National Geographic US paper road atlas. While it has a Canadian section; I’d like to find a dedicated Canadian paper atlas that might be more detailed. Any recommendations?
  • I haven't used a paper atlas in years but when I did I always preferred the Michelin North America one.
    Never did see one dedicated to Canada only
  • Backroad mapbooks gives the most detail, possibly more than you want

    For example British Columbia is covered in 6 volumes, Ontario in 4. The detail is comparable to the Delourme and Benchmark atlas for the US states.

    Years ago I first found these in BC groceries and ferry giftshops.

    You might also browse a larger bookstore like B&N.
  • Have you thought of contacting each provincial tourism office? They send out nice maps of provinces and some good information. Yes, there is lots of commercial information, which I don't always care for!
