I just pull the atlas out and trace a river from Glacier Park to the coast or inland and follow each little branch it takes. Read the name of the little towns nearby.
I don’t do the street view (can it work on Rivers?) but just relax and try to picture the speed of the current and the size of the fish.

I've got the navigational skills of a 1600's ship captain. I always know where I am.

Those big road Atlas maps also show dirt roads that Google maps doesn't, and vice versa

I can't figure out how mobile workers did it. How to get from job to job looking up a street name then getting a grid location and finding the house.
Now days I have a picture of the place I am going to and an exact updated ETA

Ha. When I was a kid we took a road trip to L.A., and we got lost in south central somehow at like midnight our first night in. Ohhhhh and it was just a few weeks after the rodney king riots.
Few memorable moments:
- my dad prety much giving us a quick before getting out to make a call at a pay phone "Love yall, but if something happens to me someone hop in the front seat and drive off. And lock the door when I get out, and unlock when you see me hang up."
- dad zipping thru a red light after he turned the windshield wipers, and cleaner on a bum that came up to wash our windshield. I think he realized that light was taking to long with that guy staring at him.
- my sister calling out all the hookers, and crack smokers she saw. My parents asking how she knows any of what that it is.
Ha.
To the OP...man I remember my dad loved buying new maps, and finding all the alternatives if stuck in traffic. Studied those things for days at the kitchen table, prior to a family trip. Good ol days.
