Atlas of USA

USA street directory/road maps/atlas?

Hi, I'm from Australia and will be doing a road trip through California, Arizona and Nevada. In Australia we have Melways, which is a state wide street directory, showing all roads, highways etc. Am curious to know what the equivalent is in America, especially the 3 states I am visiting. I'm hoping i can purchase just the street directory/road map/road atlas etc instead of purchasing a GPS system as quite honestly they drive me bonkers. Thanks

1. Rand McNally produces a number of road atlases and guides that you can purchase by state, region, or entire country.
2. You can pick up free maps at AAA offices here in the states if you are a member of the Australian equivalent ( I don't know what it is called there)
3. The first answer is correct and there are nationwide maps/atlases available. Also, every fuel station, convenience store, and book store will sell local/state maps. http://books.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?WRD=highway+maps+usa&box=highway%20maps%20usa&pos=2 However, if you only need maps for 3 states consider asking for free highway maps from the state tourist offices: http://www.usa-800.com/rback/ca/ca1.asp http://travelnevada.com/guides-brochures.aspx Note that all of the states operate visitor centers/rest areas on the major highways - usually just inside the state's border. The centers offer free maps. http://www.visitcwc.com/
