How this list was compiled: States, capitals and admission dates: data/us-states-quiz.json, checked 2026-09-18 against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_date_of_admission_to_the_Union and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capitals_in_the_United_States. Provinces, territories and capitals: data/canada-provinces-quiz.json, checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_and_territories_of_Canada. Both lists re-read 2026-09-23: 50 states and the District of Columbia; 10 provinces and 3 territories. Capital points: Natural Earth 5.1.2 populated places, projected and tested inside their own shape; Honolulu and Toronto are flagged a hair outside their simplified shores. Every capital name the map took from Natural Earth was compared by script with the two quiz files; they agree except in spelling (St. Paul, Québec), where the quiz files' names are used.

How it works
This outline map of the USA and Canada draws both countries on one projection, so Alaska meets Yukon and the Great Lakes sit on the border. Print it blank, numbered or named, with an answer key.

A USA Canada map with states
Named writes all 64 names on: 50 states, the District of Columbia, 10 provinces and 3 territories. Numbered leaves the names for students to fill in, and Blank prints the borders only.
Small places
Eleven places are too small to write on, from Rhode Island to Prince Edward Island. Their numbers sit in rings just off the coast, joined by a line.
Questions and answers
Can I print a Canada US map with cities?
Switch Capitals on and a star marks the capital of every state, province and territory, 64 in all, from Juneau to St. John's. On the Named map each star carries its name.
Is there a US map of states and Canada at the same scale?
Yes, this one. Both countries share one equal-area projection, so Texas and Ontario, or Alaska and Quebec, can be compared by size. Hawaii sits in a box at the lower left at the same scale.
How many states and provinces are there in the US and Canada?
The United States has 50 states and the District of Columbia. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. That makes 64 places on this map.
