That works sometimes if you travel on interstates.
Arkansas does a good job of having welcome centers with maps on 2 lane roads.
A motel we stayed at in Arkansas this year had a big stack of state maps in the lobby.
We got pulled over one Sunday morning by small town Arkansas LEO, no infractions, just a hello and an offer of free maps. We took the maps, asked of local eatery he pointed to down a side street and off we went. Still smile thinking of that encounter.
