I sure could use some help getting to the hotels at HY 90 & State St.
I'll be coming from the north or north east a little. My plans will be
taking me south to Princeton and could also use some help getting out
of Rockford going to the south.

I've actually checked out both of those, and found the Rockford one
very helpful. The other one isn't very good - at least online.
I'm coming from Jefferson, thru Janesville and along the east side of
Beloit, or maybe even right thru Beloit.

It's not much better on paper, but I scanned in a few sections of that area.
The JPEGs are big, and a tad slow to load, but feast your eyes:

It'd be nice if they actually put a few more road names on the maps, so you'll
want to check these against a decent road of the area, but I hope they help.

Indeed. Who in the Illinois Dept of Transportation thought it would be a
cool idea to k the roads using "official" names/numbers rather than what
is actually posted on the street signs -- when there are names at all?

Probably the same person who managed to leave the entire Bloomington/Normal
area off the 2005 series of maps (it should be in region 3 -- it ain't).

Have you checked out the Rockford Area Bicycle Map?
<http://www.bikelib.org/rockford/ >
The Region 1 and 2 Illinois Bike Maps might also help:
<http://www.dot.state.il.us/bikemap/STATE.HTM >
Are you coming down from Beloit, or closer to Harvard? I might be able to scan
part of the Region 2 map for you, if the online version gives you problems.
