Best you can do for the U.S. is the separate DeLorme's for the states.  When I am on a long trip, that makes for a lot of map books.  There is also the _All the Roads of ____________ _ series .  It is now available from Mapsco.   Again, lots of books on a long trip.   But, I believe an equivalent for the entire U.S. would be a volume sufficient to serve as a wheel chock for a jumbo jet, if it were reduced to a resolution similar to that of the OED that I have.  If not, it would fill the van.  Is not the Canada book rather massive?  Would appreciate biblio information, however.
