New State Highway Map Available

Two hundred years ago the Corps of Discovery didn't stray too far from the banks of the Missouri River. While in Missouri, they relied on earlier explorers' maps and the observations of fur trappers and other rivermen to prepare for what lay ahead.

'Today's travelers have a distinct advantage,' said Mike Bruemmer, district engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation. 'They can plot a course anywhere in Missouri with the help of MoDOT's 2004 Official Highway Map.'

The new map, available free of charge, charts Missouri's 32,000-mile system of highways and bridges as well as major rivers, lakes, state parks and forests.

Improved features include:
' Highlighted routes of the Lewis and Clark Trail, Historic Route 66, the Katy Trail and Eastern Missouri's Great River Road;
' Easy-to-locate emergency telephone numbers;
' Contact information for state travel resources;
' Lewis and Clark resource information

The 2004 map commemorates the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's westward journey. The cover highlights the Corps of Discovery's voyage with portraits of Lewis, Clark and the Missouri River. A painting by Missourian Gary Lucy depicts the final supply inspection made before the group departed St. Charles.

Copies of the free map are available at MoDOT's North Central Office at 902 North Missouri St. in Macon, highway rest areas, visitor centers, the Missouri Division of Tourism and many other state offices. Requests can be made by calling MoDOT toll-free at 1-888-ASK MODOT or by using the department's web site ' www.modot.org. Please allow seven to 10 days for delivery.
