- jamwayExplorerDeLorme Topo U S A Is a good topographic map that may help you.
The one I got was not free. - lbrjetExplorerIf you have an Apple device try TopoProfiler(5 bucks). It does exactly what you want for any road in the country. If you buy it send me a PM and I will give you some tips. Best 5 bucks I ever spent.
- SlowBroExplorer IIIMaybe they have that at a library.
- jnharleyExplorerIf you have to buy a paper map, I would recommend a Trucker's Atlas. Available at most truck stops.

- jplante4Explorer IINot free, but I bought this after a Tom Tom sent me down a nasty road in the Catskills.

Official interstate grades are not that big of a deal to a camper. Of course. A windy mountain road with 10 and 20 MPH switchbacks could challenge the brakes in some cases.
Hence my request for both road and Interstate maps :)
Is there no national map? Is the only option to buy a paper map? If so that's fine, I just thought I'd ask. - K3WEExplorerI had an interesting experience in western Maryland and West Virginia. On the steep grades on the interstates, with just our TV, I needed to brake lest I hit 80 MPH. With the travel trailer, I needed no braking. The big sqareish front and back generate a bunch of drag and the TT isn't that heavy and I've read similar things from others.
