Benchmark Maps is a map-publishing company based in Medford, Oregon and Santa Barbara, California. As of 2018, the company has published detailed atlases for thirteen states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The company got its start in 1995, and has sold over two million maps and atlases. It is owned by Athenaeum Capital Partners LLC and the General Manager is John Glanville.

Benchmark Road & Recreation Atlases all follow a common pattern: The front of every atlas has separate United States, regional and state maps used for orientation and overview, followed by a complete Recreation Guide including facility information. Then come the highly detailed Landscape Maps™, which combine shaded relief and land use imagery. Most atlases have a section of "Metro Maps," enlarged detail for getting around the urban areas. All atlases are field-checked by Benchmark staff[ citation needed ].

Benchmark Maps also publishes a line of folded maps. Titles include Arizona, Colorado, eastern Texas, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, western Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. The Folded Recreation Map series follows a common pattern as well: One side shows a map of the subject state in its entirety with roads, public lands, selected points of interest, etc. The opposite side features a recreation guide with descriptions of points of interest shown on the map side.

Benchmark Maps is available for custom cartography as well.
