Hard to believe these were actually useful. They look very "zoomed out" and my guess is that if you're behind enemy lines you'd want to about roads between major cities and hike through the wilderness instead, but it doesn't look like a trail map.

And it would be a very slow way of travelling. I think roads and railways were probably a better option, and this map could have helped with that.
