[Split from user-friendly atlas thread. -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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

tdindy88

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.
