state maps

Road atlas contents

State maps are maps showing the geography, roads, boundaries, or features of a single U.S. state.

They typically display highways, cities, counties, and points of interest at greater detail than national maps: We picked up a state map at the welcome center.

The term distinguishes these from city maps, regional maps, or national atlases.
