As far as I have been able to find there are only two major State Atlas publishers: Benchmark and DeLorme. I own both for the State of Nevada (earlier editions of both). Superficially they look the same but if you use them to get off main roads, as I do to explore the back country and to look for good landsailing sites, one quickly realizes that Benchmark is superior. Benchmark has much better descriptions and differentiation of the quality of the smaller roads, even labeling some as 4WD roads. It has greater topographical detail,too. DeLorme is more widely available but it is worth the extra effort to find the Benchmark series.
Agree with the above review. I also have both and Benchmark is much more useful for offroad navigation. Section grids on the map are smaller in area so are more detailed and useful. Different types of roads are illustrated by different colors and difficulty.
I have several other states in the Benchmark series, and Nevada — like those — is superior to the Delorme Gazeteer. The characterization of roads is more accurate — roads that are unpaved are shown as unpaved, and they accurately differentiate between 4×4 roads and better unpaved roads.
