A company called Geopgraphia (http://www.geographiamaps.com/product_details.php?p_id=15&id=23) prints them. I saw one at a gas station not too long ago for the 5 boroughs recently. Hagstrom used to be right by Island City until the company pretty much shut down and got bought out.

Rural areas can be a bit trickier. You need to remember what roads dead end, which connect to the next county and what the road is when you cross the county line.
I have delivery notice pads that I use for 4 specific routes in my center. They have notes for that specific route and what the road changes are at the country line. Most times, I don't need the map, just the notes.

If your center has ORION you can use the ORION computers to print off maps. It will waste a lot of paper but as a cover guy I have zoomed in on maps for certain area I don't know or haven't seen before. Guess that's one positive of the technology.

Yeah.....I know that is not the correct county. However if you scroll down to the area you need then you can zoom in to the streets. If you have a smart phone then you can have this map at your finger tips

Maps on my iphone does wonders. So much easier than using a map book. i've learned all the routes I cover this way.

Never bought a map. If I was sent out in the blind I asked my sup for a map. The standard reply was we do not have any. He expected me to have one.
I told him that I would drive around until I found a street that I had a package for and then continue driving until I ran into another street with a package for it.
I always ended up being given a map from my sup before I left. Imagine that.

There are times when I am given an add/cut or asked to help out another driver in an area that I am not familiar with. Our center has one map book that is kept in the office and our OMS will make copies of the page(s) that I need.
You new guys should be thankful that you don't have to deal with RD and RR numbers.

Yes that might work, but not while I'm in this training situation trying to make book.
I just use my iPhone for finding all my stops. It's so much easier than using the map book only because the cuts you get make you bounce between up to 4 cities all day. Keep a $20 portable battery charger with me, and my beat up kings map book as a backup incase all technology fails...
