Obtaining state highway maps

[mightyace]

(thank you taxpayers from Tennessee) 

No problem, glad to oblige. 

[deathtopumpkins]

I ordered a few when this thread first came about, and got the first one yesterday, from, of all places, Arkansas, the farthest away state I ordered one from. 

[Chris]

I got another one on the Pennsylvania taxpayers behalf. Thank you very much

[deathtopumpkins]

I just got my PA map the other day too!
Arkansas came after a week, Virginia after 3, and Pennsylvania after a month. That's all I ordered so far.

[hbelkins]

And with the new year coming up, it'll be time to start the process all over again. I haven't heard when Kentucky's new maps will be out but I'd wager on sometime around the middle of February.

I too have only requested maps from Virginia, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania.  My results were as follows...
Virginia, less than a week.  Arkansas took about 2 weeks.  Pennsylvania I just received earlier this week, it took over a month.  I'm not complaining, just thought I'd share my experience thus far.

Got my West Virginia one two weeks before Thanksgiving, and all I had to do was sign their guestbook.  Got the Pennsylvania one the next weekend.   Both were at rest areas along I-81.

SD was rather quick about getting one sent out. Not the highest quality but far from the worst map I've gotten.

Picked up an Illinois 2009-10 from a Welcome Center last week (could not find a place online to request one). Emailed Missouri DOT and received a 2010-12 in the mail two weeks ago (picked up a second for a friend from a rest area last week too).

Alaska DOT&PF allows you to order maps but as far as I can tell they never ship them. I ordered one last fall and it never showed up. From what I hear others have had the same experience.

I called them (free long distance) and asked them to mail me one, and they did.

You have to exercise a bit of caution with the Illinois ones at the rest areas.  They offer both a regular version and a large print version.  The large print version does not have any of the city maps (including Chicago and Metro East) found on the regular version.  At least Blago's name is gone from the maps.

I just got a South Dakota map today

Ontario has both a online one on the MTO website and a printed one that they hand out for free at travel information centres. You can also order a printed one online but they charge for it. 

You can view the online map or order the paper one currently here: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/traveller/map/index.shtml

It's $2.95 for the paper map, but  $31 shipping to the States...ouch!  I'll have to d/l for the meantime, and head for the info center when I go up there this fall.  :-)

State of Georgia

There are many types of maps available at the GDOT website:
http://dot.ga.gov/maps/Pages/default.aspx

They have maps for state, county, city, railroad, airport, bicycle, traffic counts, and other subjects.  You can get either hard copies or electronic versions (mostly pdf, but also a few jpg).  The state maps are all up to date, but county maps aren't updated regularly (which isn't a big deal for rural Georgia counties, but they leave out much of the recent growth in metro Atlanta counties).

Maps of Arkansas can ordered here: http://www.arkansashighways.com/planning_research/mapping_graphics/tourist.aspx

There are a bunch of downloadable maps here: http://www.arkansashighways.com/planning_research/mapping_graphics/mapping_graphics.aspx

More Arkansas maps, including historic maps, are available here: ftp://ftp.geostor.arkansas.gov/geostor_raster_02/AHTD_MAP_SERIES/

Mississippi finally has 2008-09 maps available. Only thing I really noticed was that they acknowledge Future Interstate 22, although they show it following US 78 into Tennessee.

Thanks for the link... ordered one last Friday.

A quick followup, the Ontario map arrived in the mail today, beating out PA, VA, WV which even had a few days' head start.  Now I can plan a trip to the Great White North from my comfy chair in the Great White Mid-Atlantic.

Found out yesterday that there may not be a 2010 Kentucky map. I was told that Kentucky plans to use the 2009 maps through the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games to be held in Lexington in the fall. If this comes to pass it will be the first time I can ever remember Kentucky not issuing an annual map.

[tdindy88]

Yeah, I noticed that on my Kentucky map that they were mentioning those games, plus a year wasn't mentioned on the map itself. Anyhow, having it every 2 years won't do much harm for Kentucky I suppose. Speaking of Ontario, I ordered a map from them a couple years ago and also got a fast response, about a week or so I believe which is quite good given it's coming from another country, perhaps the postal system there is just better. I have plans for a trip up there this year plus Quebec, some of the Maritime Provinces, and the Northeast, of which I've ordered maps from all six of those states. By any chance, does someone know how I can get a map of Quebec?

And I did not notice many changes between the 2009 and 2008 maps, outside of the removal of the Future Interstate corridors and addition of those Main Street icons...

[hbelkins]

Kentucky's doing a 2010 map after all. Just found out today that it will be out in a couple of weeks. I will try to stock up on them to bring to any road meets I attend this year. Anyone who requests a Kentucky map online should do so after March 15 and be sure to request a 2010 map instead f last year's version. I have not seen a draft of this year's map so I don't know what it looks like.
