Good question. I've only seen one online map data base that does an OK job at showing you what road is gravel/dirt and what's asphalt and that is Gaia GPS. Even there you need to consult the legend to verify road surface as they let you download a lot of different maps, Gaia Topo, USGS Topo, Nat'l Geo, etc... Gravel Maps does some good stuff, but it functions like TrailForks in that a road surface would be indicated as gravel IF somebody road and tracked a ride, then uploaded or traced a route.
