How to get a road map of Southwest area?

I know it is an off-topic question, but I am not familiarized with American editions of road maps and I don't think they are available at my country.
What I am looking for is a road map which includes Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado.
Any suggestion for getting it from Amazon or a similar place?

Contact the tourist information office of each state and ask for tourist information and map, or just the map.

Arizona
(866) 239-9712
www.arizonaguide.com

Colorado
(800) 265-6723
www.colorado.com

New Mexico
(8000 733-6396
www.newmexico.org

Utah
(800) 200-1160
www.utah.com

Amazon should have the Rand-McNally Atlas.

for mileage, travel time, and hotels between starting and stopping points go to freetrip.com

I assume you are going to be driving. I don't know if you have something similar to AAA where you are from, but they have great road maps.

If you can't get the maps you need, I will be happy to send them to you.

Email me directly if you'd like.

I think what the original poster was after is a single map covering the states mentioned.

When we did the Las Vegas/Zion/Bryce loop a couple of years ago, I wanted the same thing--and had no luck finding it.

Wouldn't mind one myself, that would include the Grand Canyon, as well...

Not sure Mike if you can get maps from AAA unless you are a member [I am and have those maps available]. They would be Arizona & NM on one map and UT & CO on a second map.

What good info!
I would try with Rand-McNally edition at Amazon... although the first search was not very succesful.
I have tried the links and they are really useful... and I guess that I am going to collect a lot of info from them. I have asked for the brochures, but I guess it will take quite a long time to arrive to Spain.
Many thanks for the quick and accurate answers... and the so kind offer from Debi.
I hope I will be able to help all of you so well if you happen to visit my country.

I prefer atlases to road maps - they seem to hold up better over time and also are more managable. When we went to Germany and Austria, I bought an atlas, then made color copies of the areas we needed and bound them in a thin folder so it would take up less room.

Degitnm,

The southwest AAA maps have a lot more than just those 4 states. I believe they have California, Nevada, AZ, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, and Oklahoma.

I just started working for AAA, so I can check tomorrow. But no, they are not for sale to the general public. You need to be a member.

However, if soemone is a member of a European AA club, there may be a reciprocity agreement. We have had people from Germany come in and get maps. Europeans need to go to their local auto club to see if they have a card they can issue to get AAA services, maps, etc., here in the US.

So, filloa, if you are a member of a local auto club, check into that.

AAA has a great Indian Country map that covers the four corners area.

errr Mike that's DebitNM with a B, no fingerpointing here!

I sort of got the maps mixed. I am referring to State maps, not region.

The states of AZ and NM are on same AAA map [opposite sides of paper]; Colorado and Wyoming; and Utah and Nevada. Those are the 3 I had in mind.

Oops! sorry, deBitNM. My fingers seem to be faster than my brain at times.

Yeah, AAA has all sorts of different map combinations. You can also get a western states map that has all of the southwestern and northwestern states.
