The online maps available from the states’ departments of transportation is astounding. Do a Google search on:

Kansas Department of Transportation downloadable maps

for example. The Kansas Dept of Transportation offers downloadable state, county, city, etc. maps in pdf format.

A lot of these maps will be huge. The key to printing out just what you need is to zoom in on the part of the map that you want to print, then, from within Adobe Reader, select File, Print, and where it says “Pages to Print” click on the More Options, and select Current View.

I don’t know if all the states have downloadable maps, but I checked out several using the search string above and each of the states I looked at had downloadable maps.

Good idea!

It should also work to screen capture, dump into an image viewer, crop or alter (add text?) as desired, and save or print.

I have looked at online state maps for a few states & may try more.

However, I doubt a pdf can allow one to create multi-state routes easily, for example?
