How it works

This blank map of the US shows all 50 states, with Alaska and Hawaii in boxes at the lower left. Print it blank for labeling, numbered to write against, or named as the answer key.

Read the full guide

Blank, numbered or named

The sheet opens blank. Choose Numbered to put a number on each of the 50 states, from 1 for Washington in the north-west, or Named for their names, then press Print this map; the answer key prints on its own sheet.

A map of the USA unlabeled, with small states ringed

Nine states are too small to write inside at this size, from Vermont and Rhode Island to Delaware and Maryland, and Hawaii in its box, so each has a ring joined by a line. The District of Columbia is not drawn.

  • For a first test, print Numbered and ask one region at a time: the 9 states of the Northeast, the 12 of the Midwest, the 16 of the South or the 13 of the West.

Questions and answers

How many states are on the map?

All 50. Alaska and Hawaii are moved into boxes at the lower left and drawn at a smaller scale, as on most school maps of the United States.

Which is the largest state?

Alaska, more than twice the size of Texas, the second largest. Rhode Island is the smallest.

Is Washington, D.C. on the map?

No. The District of Columbia is not a state, and it is too small to draw at this size; it lies on the Potomac River between Maryland and Virginia.
