Textauszug

INTRODUCTION

Something about a good map never goes out of style. Before GPS, satellite tracking, and smartphone apps, people traveled around America by putting an atlas on the passenger seat and flipping through the pages, marking routes, tracing roads, and making notes in the margins. This road map is a tribute to that desire to discover, but it was made for modern travelers. If you want to travel smarter, not just technologically, but also physically, with a tool you can count on even if your phone's signal goes out, the battery dies, or the GPS takes you off track, the U.S. 50 States Road Atlas was made for you. It's more than just a bunch of maps. This book has information about the roads in each state of the United States and can also be used to plan a road trip.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Every U.S. state, mapped with accuracy and detail
• Major and secondary highways, scenic byways, and lesser-known routes
• State-specific driving laws, emergency numbers, and safety tips
• National parks, iconic landmarks, and access routes

……and so on.

Whether you’re hauling freight across state lines, road-tripping with family, or just trying to get somewhere new without relying on a phone, this atlas was made for you. Each page was designed with readability and real-life usefulness in mind—large fonts, clean lines, and smart color coding so you can find what you need at a glance. And unlike most digital maps, this book doesn’t change mid-route, reroute without warning, or disappear in dead zones. What you see is what you drive. Most importantly, this atlas was created with you, the traveler, in mind. It’s for those who still believe in getting behind the wheel, watching the world unfold mile by mile, and knowing that the journey is just as important as the destination.

Welcome to the open road. Let’s go.

How to Use This Atlas

This atlas was built to be easy to read, quick to reference, and reliable on the road—no matter where you’re headed or how you’re getting there.

Each of the 50 states has its own dedicated section. The state maps include:

• Major interstates, U.S. routes, and key state highways
• Scenic byways and alternate routes
• Cities, towns, and rural connectors
• Rest areas, welcome centers, and exit numbers
• Icons for airports, ferry terminals, state parks, and more

The state pages are arranged alphabetically. You’ll also find key driving laws, speed limits, emergency contact numbers, and local travel tips alongside each map.

How to Use the Symbols

Every map uses a standardized set of symbols for easy navigation.

These include:

• Gas stations and service areas
• Campgrounds and RV stops
• Points of interest (museums, parks, monuments)
• Tolls, border crossings, and ferry routes. The legend is located in the front and also repeated on most maps for convenience.

Plan around Real Travel Conditions

This atlas doesn’t just show you where to go—it helps you plan for how to get there. Look for special callout sections like:

• “Driving Safety by Region” (snow, heat, flood zones)
• “What to Pack for a Cross-Country Road Trip”
• “Emergency Numbers by State”
• “Useful Apps & Travel Tools”

These are placed throughout the book and in the back section for quick reference.

Don’t Rely on GPS Alone

GPS can reroute you at the worst times—this atlas won’t. It’s your reliable backup when your phone battery dies, your signal drops or a detour takes you off the grid. Many backroads, national park areas, and mountain passes still lack coverage. That’s where this atlas earns its keep. Whether you're traveling for work or for wonder, this atlas is your guide. Use it to see the country on one page, one route, and one state at a time.

Driving Tips for Safe and Efficient Travel

It's not enough to just get to your goal when traveling long distances across the U.S. You need to get there safely, quickly, and with as little stress as possible. These useful tips are made for real drivers on real roads, whether they're going between states or just taking beautiful routes. Always being on the lookout is one of the most important habits too. That means you have to stay alert, keep a safe distance between your car and the one in front of you, and guess what other drivers might do, especially when there is a lot of traffic, the road winds around mountains, or there are work zones. Being aware, cool, and in charge is what defensive driving means, not being too careful. Do not wait until almost empty to fill up your tank. Sometimes there aren't many gas shops in the middle of nowhere in states like Nevada, Montana, or West Texas. When you get to half a tank, it's a good idea to fill it up, especially if you're going somewhere new. Use your atlas to find places ahead of time and plan your stops around them. You can also use apps like GasBuddy or iExit to help but don't depend on your phone alone if the signal is weak. There are some things that GPS can do better. It can change your route without telling you, take you down badly maintained back roads, or even lose signal. That's why your actual atlas is so important. It shows you more options by showing you different highways, scenic routes, changes in elevation, and close service towns that GPS might miss. Before you leave, take a moment to draw out your planned path and any stops or detours you might want to make. When you move from one location or climate to another, the weather can change quickly. In a few hours, you can go from being in the hot desert to going up into the snowy Rockies. Before you drive, you should always check the weather reports, and you should always keep basic gear in your car, like a rain jacket, extra water, a flashlight, and a warm layer. Don't forget how quickly things can change on the road. All fifty states have work zones that need extra care. When speed limits drop, they usually drop quickly. If you're not paying attention, lane changes can be hard to understand. Don't talk on your phone, slow down, and don't follow too closely. Also, many states have rules called "Move Over" that say you have to change lanes or slow down when you get close to emergency or service vehicles that are stopped on the shoulder. Finally, be smart about how you pack. Don't put too much in your car, but always have the things you really need close at hand, like jumper cables, a spare tire, a phone charger, snacks, water, and this map. Being efficient on the road isn't just about going fast; it's also about being ready, alert, and able to keep your cool.

Best Times to Travel across the U.S

Timing your trip can make the difference between a smooth, scenic drive and sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic under a blistering sun or stuck behind snowplows. The United States is vast, with regions that shift in weather, road conditions, and tourist crowds throughout the year.

Spring (March-May): Ideal for Most Regions

Spring is one of the best all-around seasons to drive. Temperatures are mild, wildflowers are blooming, and the highways are generally less congested.

• Best For: The South, Southwest, California, Texas Hill Country, and the Southeast Coast.
• Watch For: Lingering snow in mountain passes (Rockies, Sierra Nevada, and Cascades), wet roads in the Midwest, and early tornado activity in the Plains.

Tip: Roads through national parks like the Blue Ridge Parkway or Natchez Trace Parkway are especially beautiful in spring.

Summer (June–August): Popular but Hot and Crowded

Summer is the peak season for family vacations and long-haul travel. Expect busy interstates, crowded national parks, and higher hotel prices—especially near coastal and mountain destinations.

• Best For: Northern states like Montana, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and the Pacific Northwest.
• Watch For: Extreme heat in the Southwest (Arizona, Nevada, inland California), hurricane season starting in late summer for the Gulf Coast and Florida, and heavy tourism traffic near big landmarks.

Tip: Travel early in the morning to avoid both traffic and midday heat, especially on desert highways like I-10 and U.S. Route 93.

Fall (September–November): The Hidden Gem...
