However, In the west there is a geographical mistake in the West. Crescent City does not connect to the "i5" or Redding. Arcata (7 miles north of Eureka), where I happen to live, does via 299.
Crescent city connects however to Grants Pass via 199.

Well technically it does by way of Arcata. I know it is not drawn 100% correct. But I stated before these maps would not be 100% correct as far as exact road location and looks.
Not all cities on every road are labeled and not all possible roads between cities are placed. This was designed purely to ensure better gameplay.
So while technically the road does not look like the one shown on the google map below, it is possible to go from Cresent City to Redding.

My suggestion doesn't change the play of the map, which I have Ifound solid thus far. If Crescent City was simply replaced with Arcata it would make the map more accurate geographically as well. Crescent City connects to 5 but in Grants Pass Oregon via a beautiful but simultaneously horrible road - 199. Then From Grants Pass Redding is 3 hours south. Or one could drive 1.5 hours south to Arcata then go from there to Redding. Either direction from Crescent City you have to change major highways to get to 5. And both ways it is painful.
Redding is 2+ hours East of Arcata via 299. If you were to swap then names === though the location of Crescent city is correct... It would make the roads more accurate.
Finally, Crescent City is very small. Arcata has twice the number of people and if you were to put Eureka (Arcata's neighbor to the south) that has even more people. Crescent City is isolated and a bit out in nowhere land.
If only every mapmaker was this fast...
