Do you actually have good maps to plan this trip. Good maps will give much of the information for which you are looking. If you are a member of CAA, you can pick up maps of each State there. You can then decide which are your must sees, and construct your itenirary from there. With a week you have a bit of time to wander. Here is a paragraph which may help you get started.

Those are your essential tool in any RoadTrip planning process. Start by marking all the places you know you want to visit. Then connect the dots. Then look for more places of interest and scenic routes along the lines connecting the dots. Repeat until you've got as many sites and roads as you think you want.
