This network was one of the best designed in Europe, with routes built as straight as possible, laid out "de clocher à clocher" (from steeple to steeple), 60 feet (19.4 m) wide, bordered with trees and bound with ditches that were linked to rivers.

Trudaine was also responsible for the planning and construction of the Place Royale in Reims and other urban projects.

The Trudaine Atlas, created from 1745 to 1780, was the most accurate set of cartographic plans of roads and topography of France made during its period.

Map plates were augmented with designs for locks, bridges, and other civil engineering projects where future improvements were deemed necessary.

Today, Trudaine's immense atlas remains one of the most significant achievements in the development of cartography.
