I'm not sure what the purpose of the map is really, aside from people looking at it and thinking "huh, interesting" before moving on with their lives. Making it, however, was tons of fun! It's really shown me not only what SCS decides to show as they build their version of the U.S., but somewhat more importantly, what they decide not to show. It was also really interesting to see how their mapping skills went more toward imitating real-life as new DLC's released. Beginning really with New Mexico there was a sudden shift to depicting the true street layout of cities, as opposed to the more vague "reminiscent" versions we got in CA, NV, & AZ.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share this with everyone here! I should also mention a few things, I didn't map the roads of Las Vegas yet, as we've been teased a rework of the city. Once we get that I'll put that together. Furthermore, as a form of civil protest and also because I think I'd pull my hair out trying to figure it out, I've decided not to map LA or SF until they get some love either.

I'm sure I've missed some spots, so feel free to point them out! Most roads are taken from either in-game signage or landmarks. Some are just wild guesses, particularly as it comes to the base map (Looking at you, Huron, CA). If you think I've done a town wrong, mention what roads you think are represented instead!
Edit: Updated preview map to most current version including Colorado roads.
