Are Alaska and Hawaii on the map?

Yes, in small boxes in the corner, the way school maps show them, so the lower 48 states fill the page.

Can I print a states and capitals quiz?

Yes, two ways. The style “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” numbers the 50 states in reading order, adds a list of 50 lines with State and Capital columns, and a second page of answers with every name. Or print it blank with the borders and “Mark the capitals” ticked: every state capital is a dot to name, and Washington, D.C. is marked as the national capital.

Do the small states get names?

The small north-eastern states are named beside the coast with a short line to the state, so every state is named.

Can I colour in states, for regions or a project?

Yes: choose 1 to 6 colours and type the states for each, by name or postal code (TX), with a legend line if you like, or click states on the preview. A state put in two colours takes the later one.

Where does the map come from?

From Natural Earth, a free public-domain map dataset. It is a map to learn and colour, not to measure distances.

Example

Example: the four US Census regions in four colours, with a legend

A fourth-grade class learns the regions of the United States. Style “Blank, with the borders”, Paper “US Letter”, Download as PDF, Colour states “4 colours”, legends Northeast, Midwest, South and West, and the states of each region typed into its colour, separated by commas.

Type each state by its full name or its two-letter code (TX, NY); DC and District of Columbia both work. Clicking a state on the preview adds it to the colour you are editing.
A name the map does not know, such as “Calif.”, is reported as “Not found on this map”; type California or CA instead.
Alaska and Hawaii, in their boxes at the bottom left, are filled with the West.
The legend goes in the corner of the map with the least land under it, clear of the boxes and the labels.

Colour	Legend	Typed	Places
1	Northeast	Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania	9 states
2	Midwest	Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota	12 states
3	South	DE, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, VA, DC, WV, AL, KY, MS, TN, AR, LA, OK, TX	16 states and DC
4	West	Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington	13 states

us-map.pdf: one Letter page titled “United States”, every state filled in its region’s colour, with the four legend lines. For the quiz afterwards, print the same map in the style “Numbered, to write the names and capitals”.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with the borders for a quiz, the outline only for drawing, or with the names.
Tick “Mark the capitals” to add a dot for each capital, and choose the paper.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
