USA state maps from the National Geographic with cartography from Mapquest, with each title providing additional tourist information through city maps and enlargements of popular areas, national park site listings, a calendar of annual events, etc.

Each map clearly shows the state’s national parks, forests and other protected areas, with topography indicated by subtle relief shading and plenty of names of mountain ranges, valleys, deserts, etc. Indian Reservations are also marked and various places of interest are highlighted, including historical or natural sites, visitor information centres, campsites, etc.

Road network indicates toll roads, rest areas and services, and shows driving distances on main routes. Scenic roads are highlighted. The maps have no geographical coordinates. The index lists both counties, shown on the maps with their administrative boundaries, and towns or cities.

Each title includes several enlargements showing in greater detail local towns, national parks and other popular destination, all annotated with places of interest. Also provided are general notes about the state with descriptions of its main sights, a recommendation for a scenic drive, a table of services available in the local sites (both national parks and historical monuments), a calendar of local special events, a distance table and a climate chart.

PLEASE NOTE: the series is currently being revised, with more popular states covered on lightweight, waterproof and tear-resistant maps. Laminated and also waterproof maps cover the less popular destinations. For more details please see individual descriptions.
