street atlas
Bound road maps
A street atlas is a book of maps showing the roads and streets of a city or region, typically organized by grid coordinates for easy reference.
Before GPS navigation became widespread, drivers kept street atlases in their cars to find addresses and plan routes: I used to navigate London with an A-to-Z street atlas.
