National Highway System [United States]


The following National Highway System Map of the United States, provided by Wikipedia, includes the Inter State Highways in the blue bold line that represents the transportation system for the United Sates. Interestingly, there are more highways and intersections on the Eastern region of the United States. Unfortunately, the West Side does not have many highways. California, however, seems to have the most highway activity with intersections in Los Angeles and Northern Caifornia. In the Mid West, highways are scarce because of the mountainous region and the difficulty of having Interstate Highways across mountains and valleys. I find this map very useful because my family enjoys traveling within the country. Major cities in the country are portrayed as "hotspots" with a blue dot, demonstrating highway intersections. This map does a great job in presenting the Interstate Highway connectivity within the United States.
