This map, featuring every road in the United States of America, assembled by Reddit user WestCoastBestCoast94, looks like a cartographer’s dream come true.

You can find more debatable takeaways within this map, too. For me, it reads like a testament to the ingenuity and strength of the American roadway, and a critique of its astounding inefficiency.
I've included five of America's finest states below, but you can find all 50 states here.
