Historic Route 66 Map - RT 66 Experience Series Map
The Historic Route 66 Map - RT 66 Experience Series Map is a detailed, updated map designed to guide travelers along the full 2,400-mile length of America's iconic Route 66, from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California. Presented on a single sheet, it replaces the original two-map set, making it easier to plan and follow the entire journey without switching between multiple maps. This map is intended for those who want to experience the historic “Mother Road” at a deliberate pace, whether by car, motorcycle, RV, or other means.
This Route 66 map is organized into 10 individual ride box inset sections, each covering a specific segment of the highway. These sections highlight detailed points of interest, notable stops, and curated highlights along the way, from urban stretches to desert landscapes. The map also identifies historic landmarks, classic diners, neon signs, and other cultural icons that define the Route 66 experience, as well as recommended side-trip journeys located just off the main route.
In addition to navigation, the map provides practical travel information for a variety of trip styles. It notes top lodges and lodging recommendations, including historic motor courts and other Route 66 stays, along with some of the best camping options along the corridor. A dedicated RV section offers guidance for larger rigs traveling the historic alignment, and RV-friendly camping stops with access and facilities are specifically called out. For travelers who want to explore on foot, the map highlights some of the best hikes near the route, especially in the Southwest and surrounding regions.
Constructed to withstand the demands of road travel, the map is waterproof and tear-resistant, suitable for use in glove boxes, tank bags, or jacket pockets. It folds to approximately 4.25" × 9" for easy packing and quick access on the road. A legend and comprehensive map key explain road types, services, points of interest, and other symbols, while written descriptions and curated content support each section of the route. The suggested travel direction follows the classic east-to-west path from Chicago to Santa Monica.
