Hi, I saw 2 different atlases by Rand-McNally at K-Mart which seemed similar to the ones I saw at Office Max. The ones at K-Mart were only about $5.00 while the ones at Office Max were more expensive. I don't know what the difference was except K-Mart's name is on the front cover. They might be worth checking out to see if they show counties, etc. I usually use the maps in my old World Book encyclopedias so I didn't check them out too closely.
