AAA North American Road Atlas 2001

The AAA Road Atlas is designed for you -- your reference, your trip planning, your travel ease and especially your enjoyment. It even functions as a teaching tool in learning about states, provinces, capitals and geographic features. Keep it in your car, recreational vehicle, library or family room -- but keep it handy, because you will use it. Keep the AAA Road Atlas in mind, too, as an ideal birthday or holiday gift. The maps begin with an overview of the United States showing the network of major highways; they end with a chart of driving distances between selected cities. The pages between cover the United States, Canada and Mexico. Together, these make up one of the most comprehensive atlases of North America available.

Colors highlight mountains, lakes, rivers, deserts, glaciers and military reservations as well as national, state and provincial parks and forests. All major highways and a large number of minor ones are shown on each map. These range from transcontinental thoroughfares to unpaved back-country roads.
