American Classics — Western United States Map
First Edition
**American Classics — Western United States**
Some roads earn their reputation. The 12 routes on this map have been drawing travelers for generations — alpine passes that top out above 12,000 feet, canyon corridors that make you pull over before you've planned to, and ridge-top drives with views that arrive without warning and stay with you long after. These are the roads that define the American West, curated by a team that has logged over a million miles researching exactly that question.
This is a fully reimagined edition of the original American Classics Western map, rebuilt from the ground up in Butler Maps' Experience Series format. The routes have been refined, the content has been deepened, and the perspective has been broadened. Whether you arrive by motorcycle, camper van, sports car, or family SUV, this map was designed for you.
**12 Classic Western Routes:**
From Glacier's guardrail-free cliff road to Death Valley's salt flats. From the Lochsa River canyon to the summit of Independence Pass. From the sacred Bighorn Mountains to the Devils Highway of Arizona. Twelve roads, every corner of the American West, chosen because they deliver something that can't be replicated anywhere else.
**Each route features its own dedicated ride box including:**
✓ **Elevation Profile & Topographical Detail** — see exactly what the road does before you get on it; every climb, descent, and high point mapped and visualized
✓ **Zoomed Inset Map** — an expanded, detailed cartographic view of each route so you can navigate the road with confidence and context
✓ **Orientation** — what makes this road worth your time and how to approach it
✓ **Don't Miss This** — the specific stops, viewpoints, and moments that define each route
✓ **Notable Walks** — the best short hikes and walks directly accessible from the road
✓ **Historic Lodges & Memorable Stays** — from grand national park lodges to remote river cabins
✓ **Traveler Tips** — practical guidance for motorcyclists, RVers, sports car drivers, and families
✓ **Legends & Lore** — the history, mythology, and cultural context that makes each road more than a drive
✓ **Bonus Intrigue** — the unexpected facts and stories that stay with you long after you've left
✓ **Top Campgrounds** — one standout campground on every route, from alpine lakes to canyon floors
✓ **RV Traveler's Guide** — an overarching section covering access, fuel, road conditions, and overnight strategy across all 12 routes
**Waterproof & Tear-Resistant** — printed on durable synthetic paper built to handle the elements, the saddlebag, the glove box, and everything in between.
