which map shows road surface gravel vs paved?

I am fortunate to have a myriad of small backroads for cycling.  I lay out the routes ahead of time on Gaia.  I like working on the PC with a large monitor.  I'm not obsessive about the details.  Just trying to visualize options for a 15 mile ride, a 20 mile ride, what would it take to ride to there and back, stuff like that.  Well, I can't find any of the map layers that differentiate paved vs gravel roads.  There I am, an hour into the ride, and the next turn takes me onto a gravel road.  Well, I can handle that for a couple miles, but what about the next turn?  and the next?  Am I going to be on gravel for the next hour?  I can't tell how many of these little roads are gravel (dirt).  

Any of y'all found a map layer that differentiates gravel roads?

PS: in Virginia; all public county roads for cars; not talking about FS roads or mountain bike trails.

  Hey, I found it.  Gaia Overland, available as feet or metres.  I'm trying the feet, and it's correct for the area I bike in.

  So, okay, it's great to see one of these posts answered.
