This is a detailed map of Kerouac's journey across America. The whole first section of this book is devoted to an almost mythical idea of the west that Jacks representation in the book, names Sal, learns to find. Sadly as we learn at the end of this passage there is no holy west. Instead he finds himself in LA which is hardly the sort of place hat a non conformist like Sal could find comfortable. It seems as though his quest is hopeless and if he keeps heading west eventually he will just end up back home.
