looking for a roadmap

Post by Grizz »

With. NO INTERSTATES.

BUT WITH all the paved state and federal highways.

Does this exist?

Thanks

If you have the Waze navigation app for your phone you can go into setting, navigation and turn on "no freeways" so that you get an idea of routes without them.

If you have the old app, Mapquest, go into route settings and check the "avoid highways" to give you a map with only secondary roads.

If you can still get these and you prefer paper, which I definitely do, these can't be beat. I've had these for Ky, VA, & Tennn for over 30 years. Entire state broken down in small squares. We used them for mainly finding streams & river spots, cause each road is marked as should be, all way down to old dirt roads. Plus they're topographical. Sure handy for hunting too, the details are perfect, and USGS Mapped! Plus Interstates, US Routes, State Rds according to the correct type. Used to view mine for new places weekly, we fished 100 miles of rivers in all 3 states, and this is how we found most spots, and exactly how far we could take a truck. They invaluable!

Here's page of where I live for example

Small state and county roads are precise to every detail, and according to the state, such as Tenn we followed old roads marked by dotted lines that amounted to a 2track trail!

Second USGS topos. Used to be able to get local ones at most sporting goods stores. Now you have to go through USGS. Takes a while.

Thanks guys, I have topos for walandia. i'm thinking of a version of the western states roadmap without the interstates, but with state and federal thru roads. Will add a photo. It's obvious which roads are missing when you look at areas you drive a lot. A state map of the same series is too too. But how to get to Show Low? I am thinking a map with one layer down could include those at this scale. I use this one for context and routing decisions, but half the roads i drive aren't here!

Thanks for the input...
