I use a combination of Google Maps (turn on the Bicycle feature from the menu and select the little bicycle icon) + Ride with GPS + the occasional paper map.
You might also look to see if there are any randonneur/audax clubs in the area. If there are, no doubt they've cycled a lot of the roads you're considering and can give you some advice.
