The ATC Data Book.
ATC -- Appalachian Trail Conference 

The Appalachian Trail Data Book is updated every year. It is a small book. I 
gives the most up to date information on the AT mileage. Locations of 
shelters, campsites, water, groceries, lodgings, restaurants and post offices 
within about 5 miles (unless something is closer then 5 miles) of the AT, 
where it crosses a road.
