Re: National Geographic TOPO (state) verses National Geograpic Back Roads Explorer

Which state version has 3 CDs?  Calif takes 10 CDs.

Given that, I'm sure the state products are much more detailed.  They 
have 7.5" USGS topo maps.

But for roads the other product *could* be more useful.

What is BWCA, by the way?
