[Split from user-friendly atlas thread (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=6820.0). -S.]
Speaking of state issued maps, what are the city insets for each state issued map? I want to try and get an index of city insets by the DOTs.
I have a few of them so I will start off. Bold is incuded in 2012 RMcN Atlas.
Kentucky (2009) 11 city maps, 4 downtown maps
Ashland, Bowling Green, Covington/Northern Kentucky Area, Downtown Covington, Elizabethtown/Radcliffe, Downtown Frankfort (no Frankfort area map. RMcN is just Area map), Henderson, Hopkinsville, Lexington, Downtown Lexington, Louisville, Downtown Louisville, Owensboro, Paducah, Richmond/Berea

Michigan's 2012
State Transportation Map:
Insets printed on the print map are listed in italics, all others are online only:
- Adrian
- Alpena
- Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti (as part of the larger Detroit Area inset)
- Battle Creek
- Bay City
- Benton Harbor/St. Joseph
- Big Rapids
- Brighton (as part of the larger Detroit Area inset only, more detailed online)
- Cadillac
- Charlevoix
- Cheboygan
- Escanaba/Gladstone
- Flint
- Gaylord
- Grand Rapids
- Grayling
- Holland
- Houghton and Hancock
- Ironwood
- Jackson
- Kalamazoo
- Lansing
- Ludington
- Mackinaw City
- Manistee
- Marquette
- Marshall
- Menominee
- Midland
- Monroe
- Mount Pleasant
- Muskegon
- Ontonagon
- Petoskey
- Port Huron
- Saginaw
- Sault Ste. Marie
- South Haven
- St. Ignace
- Traverse City
- West Branch
The print and online
Truck Operator's Map adds insets for the following in addition to those on the
State Transportation Map
- Albion
- Charlotte
- Hastings
- Niles
- Owosso / Corunna
- Pontiac (more specific than the large Detroit Area inset)
- St. Louis / Alma
- Wakefield / Bessemer / Ironwood
Nebraska's 2011/2012 map has Omaha and vicinity(including most of Douglas and Sarpy Counties), Lincoln, Grand Island, Kearney, Fremont, Hastings, North Platte, Columbus, Scottsbluff/Gering/Terrytown, Beatrice, South Sioux City/Dakota City and Lexington. Apparently any city of at least 10,000 population gets an inset-Lexington only started getting an inset after the 2000 Census when it first passed the 10,000 mark in population.
Indiana HAD (and will have again hopefully) from the upper left to the bottom: Calumet Area, South Bend-Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Lafayette, Anderson, Muncie, Richmond, Terre Haute, Bloomington, Indianapolis, Downtown Indianapolis, Columbus, Evansville and Falls City Area. On the latest map they just have Downtown Indianapolis and a map of all the DNR properties in the state, that's it. Hopefully this grave injustice gets rectified in the 2013-2014 map.
Iowa has 16 altogether: Ames, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Des Moines and vicinity, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Marshalltown, Mason City, Muscatine, Omaha/Council Bluffs, Ottumwa, the Quad Cities, Sioux City, and Waterloo/Cedar Falls. So every city of 20,000 or above is represented.
OREGON (2009-11)
* Portland Metro (nearly takes up half of map)

* Eugene/Springfield
* Grants Pass
* Hood River
* Klamath Falls
* La Grande

Nevada 2011-2012 (and the last several editions):
Las Vegas metro area
Reno-Sparks metro area
Carson City
Lake Tahoe Region (includes the California side)
EDIT: Realized these aren't technically insets, but more-detailed maps at smaller scale next to the main map.
Having to improvise on the fly, I was very happy with Maryland's insets, which covered not just the greater Baltowashannap area, but had an inset of downtown Annapolis. For whatever reason they had it, it was a tremendous help to get around a street closure, and I ended up with an extra couple of clinches.

North Carolina (2001) 18 city maps, 0 downtown maps
Asheville, Burlington, Charlotte/Gastonia, Concord/Kannapolis, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greensboro/High Point/Winston-Salem, Greenville, Hickory, Jacksonville, Kinston, Monroe, New Bern, Raleigh/Cary/Chapel Hill/Durham, Rocky Mount, Salisbury, Wilmington, Wilson
There are now insets for Statesville, Sanford, and Huntersville. Also Gastonia and Charlotte are now separate.
I haven't picked up a printed Virginia map in several years, but the VDOT website lists the following on a page headed "View detailed city maps from the Virginia State Map." Technically you might not consider them "insets" because they're on the back side of the map rather than being insets on the front side. The front side instead has a mileage chart, something about how to get to the beach (this part cannot be enlarged from the online .PDF version of the map, so I can't read it), and a section with the governor's picture and a listing of the Commonwealth Transportation Board members followed by an index of counties and some towns and cities. BUT the city maps' appearance is in the nature of insets, so I'd say they count.

1995hoo, the Hampton Roads area inset i assume on the actual paper map consists of Newport News, Norfolk and Virginia Bch maps online. Is that correct?
Also does the Arlington/Alexandria map on paper go out to Dulles or Leesburg?
Louisiana (2010):
Alexandria, Monroe, Bossier/Shreveport (this is a weird sound to me, maybe it's alphabetical?), Lafayette, Lake Charles, Houma, Baton Rouge (and downtown), New Orleans (and downtown), Slidell, Mandeville/Covington. Also a Cane River Plantations inset showing the Natchitoches area southward, a River Road Plantations inset for southeast LA I-10 corridor, and a diagram or inset showing the Atchafalaya Basin area.
West Virginia (08-09)
Huntington,Bluefield, Clarksburg,Morgantown,Beckley, Fairmont, Martinsburg, Wheeling, Parkersburg, Charleston, Weirton
Alabama (2011-12)
Anniston, Auburn/Opelika, Birmingham, Decatur, Dothan, Florence/Muscle Shoals/Sheffield/Tuscumbia (yes it puts ALL 4!), Gadsden, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Phenix City, Tuscaloosa
Florida (2010)
Pensacola, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, Lakeland, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay Area, Orlando, Sarasota/Bradenton, Cape Coral/ Ft. Myers, Key West, Ocala, Space Coast (Titusville, Cocoa, and Cape Canaveral), and "Stuart to Florida City" which is the greater Miami area along I-95 up to Martin county.
Ohio (2007-09):
Lorain/Elyria, Youngstown, Dayton, Canton, Springfield, Warren, Hamilton, Mansfield, Toledo, Columbus (and downtown), Cleveland (and downtown), Cincinnati (and downtown), Akron

The Northern Virginia inset shows Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax County, Dulles, Leesburg, Manassas, Woodbridge, DC, and the immediate Maryland suburbs. The downtown Arlington inset shows a bit of DC as well.
Also, Richmond and the Tri-Cities (Petersburg/CH/Hopewell) share the same inset.
Tennessee (2009)
Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville (with a small inset showing the closure of I-40 through downtown)
Texas (09)
same as above but with: Nacogdoches/Lufkin, Rio Grande Valley cities have own insets, Denton,
Vermont (2011)
Burlington, Newport, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Montpelier, Barre, Rutland, Brattleboro, Bennington, Springfield
Washington (2006)
Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Bremerton & vicinity, Tacoma downtown, Bellingham, Vancouver, Aberdeen & Hoquiam, Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater w/capitol campus inset, Spokane Area w/downtown, Tir Cities: Richland, Kennewick & Pasco, Yakima Area, Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, Longview & Kelso
So as of right now, if my count is right, we are missing lists for AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, GA, HI, ID, KS, ME, MD, MA, MN, MS, MO, NH, NJ, NM, NY, RI, SC, and UT.
TN only has the big 4 cities? no Jackson, Clarksville, or Tri Cities? I am surprised.
I know! You'd think the state map would at least include some downtown areas or at least Clarksville
I could be incorrect, but I've thought I've seen an inset for Jackson and maybe Clarksville on past Tennessee maps, before they went to their newer style of having West and Middle Tennessee on one side and East Tennessee on the other side with the city insets. Speaking of the Tennessee ones, I don't have one from this year (but I've seen it online,) but I was pleased that the insets on the 2012 map show a little more of the four major cities than some of the previous years' maps did.

I don't have a copy of the current paper map, so I don't know whether the insets available on VDOT's website (follow the link I posted before) match up precisely with what appears on the printed map. While you can print out sections of the front side main map from .PDFs available online and then tape them together to create your own map, they don't provide the same option for the back side where the insets are.
Takumi's comments suggest the insets available online are sometimes cropped down from the versions on the back of the print map–online, for example, the Richmond inset doesn't include the Petersburg area.
Missouri:
St. Joseph
Columbia
Kansas City area + Downtown insert

OK by my count we still need Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Utah.
I know somewhere in my house i have Illinois and Minnesota, just can't find them at this time.

whoops sorry. I'm pretty sure it's there. This one was given to me and that corner was torn off. If the other cities had downtown areas I'm sure this one did too

Yeah, compare that to editions of the past, including the 1961 version:
http://www.cosmos-monitor.com/ca/map1961/index.html
Medium scale regional insets for the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and closer-scale insets for cities on top of that.
(that site also has the 1936, 1956 and 1966 maps scanned)
The 1966 version, although it only has city insets for the Bay Area and L.A., has the (IMO) very nice Gousha cartography.

The 1961 map has some interesting proposals. I like the Sacramento East and South bypass and the more direct connection between Tracy and Antioch. Nice find. Any reason why CA decided to scale back to just 3 cities?
New Jersey: Camden, Trenton, Atlantic City, New Brunswick, and "Northern Metro Area" (Newark, Jersey City, Clifton, Passaic, Fort Lee, etc.)

- Bridgeport area
- Ansonia/Derby/Shelton
- Bradley Int'l Airport area
- Hartford area (incl. downtown sub-inset)

Don't ask me why Deep Creek Lake has an inset. Replace it with somewhere that people actually go to, like Lexington Park or Hancock.
O we just need Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Utah.
I have decided for the states that are missing, I will see if I can order a paper map from those state dots. I already sent in for Alaska and Arizona.
I'll help you out with a few of those right now:
-Alaska
Officially, no city insets on the map I got from their DOT
-Arizona
Phoenix, Tuscon, Flagstaff and Yuma
-Kansas
Kansas City, Topeka, Hutchinson, Lawrence, Pittsburg, Hays, Emporia, Wichita, Newton, Manhattan, Salina, Dodge City, Junction City, Great Bend, Liberal and Garden City
-Maine
Lewiston/Auburn, Ellsworth, Belfast/Searsport, Bangor/Brewer/Rockland, Boothbay Harbor, Augusta, Brunswick, Acadia National Park, Greater Portland, Kennebunk/Kennebunkport and Old Orchard Beach/Saco
-New Hampshire
Berlin, Conway, Laconia, Rochester, Franklin, Somersworth, Lebanon, Dover, Portsmouth, Claremont, Keene, Concord, Manchester and Nashua
-New York
I recall only an official state map in the visitors guide and it was the same cartography as Mapworks. I did buy a Mapworks map of New York although I don't remember all the cities, the usual ones (New York, Albany, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo were all there plus downtown maps) and there were a few others. However, I'm not sure if this qualifies an an OFFICIAL DOT map
-Rhode Island
Central Providence and Newport
-Utah
Wastach Front (Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo,) Logan and St. George
Nothing on Hawaii and Idaho as I don't have either map.
New York has two state maps. The New York State Map is the one I believe to be the official one, and has the following insets:
Front: NYC/LI (continuation of main map), zoomed-out NY State Parks map with park outlines and Interstates/NY 17
Back, in order of appearance: Binghamton, Utica, Ithaca, Elmira, Syracuse, Schenectady, Capital District, Downtown Albany, NYC 5 boroughs, Manhattan (special street-level up to 120th), Buffalo/Niagara, Rochester
The New York State Travel Map is published by the State Hospitality and Tourism Association and has no insets except for the NYC/LI.
Tdindy88, Does the Wastach Front map include Park City/Heber City or is it cut off just east of the I-80/215 east jct?
That's sad that Alaska has no insets what so ever.
BTW, TY to all who are contributing to this listing. I have created a word doc for a full index of DOT inset maps. Much appreciation for the help.
Yes, Park City and Heber City are included in the inset. It goes as far east as the junction of I-80 and I-84 I believe.
Ok i have attempted to order a Hawaii and Idaho map. Idaho - success. Hawaii - no success. I even tried to use the Hawaii DOT page and nothing. No way to contact other than calling them. I am doubting they publish such a map.

Where does one request the NY map? My box here is missing a few states yet, and NY is one. (AL and MS are others because I'm too cheap/broke at the moment to pay them for what the other states give away for free.)

Hawaii doesn't make a single statewide highway map. When I e-mailed the communications office at HDOT looking for something, I received back individual maps for the islands. One side is the airport terminal layout and the other is a road map.
Hawai'i: Hilo, Kaliua—Kona insets; Kona International Airport and Hilo International Airport
Maui: Lahaina, Wailuku & Kahului insets; Kahului Airport
Oahu: Waikiki, Honolulu insets; Honolulu International Airport
Kauau'i: Wailua, Poipu, Lihu'e insets; Lihue Airport
now get yourself a Niihau map :-D
Has anyone successfully requested an Alaska map? I requested one back when Palin was still governor and ADOT&PF never acknowledged my request in any way.

I ended up with three, and here's my quick story. At one point, I sent the e-mail to request one, and nothing happened. Some time later, I must have sent another, and still nothing happened. When I was on my kick last year about requesting maps from all of the states, provinces and territories I lacked, I e-mailed the director of communications at the ADOT&PF to request one. He sent me a personal reply saying that the office that handled the map requests was horribly backlogged, but he personally had one mailed to me. Well, in the subsequent weeks, two additional maps arrived by mail to fulfill my original requests. It seems that he shook things up in that office and put someone on the job of actually mailing out maps.
Ping me if we need any more states' lists of insets. In my box here, I have the maps from:
AK, AB, AZ, AR, BC, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, GU, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NL, NC, ND, NS, NU, OH, OK, ON, OR, PA, QC, RI, SK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV WI, WY, YT

Where does one request the NY map? My box here is missing a few states yet, and NY is one. (AL and MS are others because I'm too cheap/broke at the moment to pay them for what the other states give away for free.)
The only requests I remember putting in were to Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. I've also worked with NJDOT before on a large map request for a road meet. I generally try to amass my collection in 2 ways: state rest areas or road meets.
Bulldog, check the ones you have for Alaska, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. I just wonder if some of the states changed their designs where either now or in the past more insets were used for these states.
Like I mentioned earlier, Wisconsin back in 1983 had a lot more insets than now. I believe they changed their threshold from 10,000 to 20,000 or 25,000 during the late 80s/early 90s. I know the 1983 edition had Marshfield, Watertown, Monroe, Menomonie, and Whitewater. Each of those cities just disappeared from the insets page.
It would be cool to add Canada to this listing too since most atlases already include them.
I think in cases like Hawaii where there is no official state map, I think we should use what some of the atlas companies have used. Honolulu and Hilo. I have never seen any other insets for Hawaii in the atlases.

On the way to the Chicago meet I stopped at an OK travel info center and inquired about getting ten or so copies of the map to hand out. The lady behind the counter simply handed over a pile of maps, still in their packing strap, as if it were the most normal request in the world. It ended up being like 25 maps.
Somewhere I still have like ten of them floating around.

Before I went to the Baltimore meet, I went to the MDOT Transportation Service Center and asked. The lady behind that counter appreciated that I didn't take all of the maps off the counter and pulled a bundle out of the cupboard. She could also give me copies of the
Truck Operator's Maps, which is only available directly through MDOT TSCs or regional offices, not the welcome centers or online request form.

Nevada's map "insets" have been the same for a number of years (since at least the last major redesign in the early 90s): Las Vegas region, Reno-Sparks region, Carson City & Lake Tahoe region.
At one time many years ago (around the 60s, I think), Ely was given an inset instead of Carson City.
I don't think NDOT has ever had more than four smaller region maps on the main map page...there may have been more on backsides, though.
Scanned copies of all of NDOT's state tourist maps (front and back) are on NDOT's website in PDF format: http://www.nevadadot.com/Traveler_Info/Maps/Historical_Maps.aspx
Roadfro, thanks for the link. I looked at various years Ely did have one on the 1967 map. But I also found one for Elko on the 2002-03 map. At least the DOT did bring back the "Interstate strips" that had been drop in the 1990s.
Speaking of that, how many states have "interstate strips" (if that is the correct term) on their state maps. I know of Alabama, Mississippi and Nevada, and a few years back Tennessee. Are there others?

Maryland did in the 1970's, but does not currently.
Oklahoma does not have them for Interstates in general, but there are strip maps for all the turnpikes (three of which are I-44).

Kentucky did for its interstates and parkways in the late 60s and early 70s. Kentucky also published individual maps of the parkways showing the ramp configurations at each exit and detailed toll schedules. Wish I had kept them, but they've been lost to the ravages of time.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but judging on later replies, then Michigan had something similar for a few years in the 1960s. The back side of the 1965 map, for example, had one big map of the state with all of the freeways in existence at the time, with ramp configurations, and where appropriate, exit numbers. (Only I-94 had them at the time.) The connecting highways along the big map were only shown a short distance from either side of the freeways. The city insets, except for Detroit, were located next to their locations in the big map. By 1969, this format was removed in place of the standard city insets on the back as is done today.
This is a little off topic but still relevant. I just got the Alaska Vacation pack that said it had a map. It was terrible. No names for the road or numbers and on a 8 x 10 piece of paper. If this is what Alaska D of Tourism think that was sufficient, they are sadly mistaken. I wonder how bad other states d of tourism packs vs DOT maps are. I will be ordering the tourism packs for the 50 states to compare and contrast.
I just got AZ's package which did include an official state map. Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Yuma have insets. The AZ maps in the book are pretty decent quality.

Louisiana used to have these on the back of the official maps from the 1960s-1980s.

Vermont (2011)
Burlington, Newport, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Montpelier, Barre, Rutland, Brattleboro, Bennington, Springfield
With the latest 2012 release, all are gone, except for Burlington. A couple "SEE INSET" texts around some of those cities remain, but no blowup map... just Burlington.
