North Carolina Road Trip Map | I-40 Exit Strategy

The I-40 Exit Strategy is an illustrated guide to independently owned restaurants along North Carolina's main highway. Organized by exit number and created in partnership with The Food Section, each listing includes a description and contact information. Unfolds to 17" x 11". Features 25 North Carolina restaurants within 3 miles of an Interstate 40 exit. Included restaurants are selected for road trip compatibility: suitable for takeout, fast service, and extended hours — alongside their expression of local culinary tradition.

This map is part of the Paper Routes series of collaborative illustrated maps. Each one features a different artist, supporting our local businesses through art. The I-40 Exit Strategy Paper Route was written by Hanna Raskin of Southern culinary guide The Food Section and illustrated by Kristen Solecki.
