Yup, most of the time for longish journeys on unfamiliar routes (before I
got GPS) I would just write a list of 5-10 towns/cities that I needed to
pass through. If you get lost, you can just drive towards the centre of the
town/city and you'll be sure there is a sign somewhere with one of the items
on your list. I found maps only helpful for the last few miles, where you
were possibly driving through resedential areas or unsigned minor routes.
Typically I would just print out a zoomed in version around a few miles of
my destination.
