Where the map gives up and the adventure quietly begins.
means A minor road branching off a main route, typically smaller and less traveled, often running between or alongside larger thoroughfares.
from A transparent compound of "side" and "road" — "side" from Old English "sīde" (the flank or edge of a thing) and "road" from Old English "rād," meaning a riding or journey, a cousin of the verb "ride." So a sideroad is literally a road off to the side, the lesser way that hugs the edge of the main route. The term is especially common in Canada, where rural "sideroads" form the grid lines crossing concession roads in surveyed townships.
