How do I print a blank map of the United States?

Choose PDF, pick A4 or US Letter and download. The map is scaled to fit the page with margins. The numbered version adds a name/date line and a second page with the answer key, so it works as a ready-made worksheet.

Can I edit the map in other software?

Yes. Download the SVG: it is a true vector file with separate shapes for every state, so you can open it in Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, Canva, PowerPoint or Google Slides and change anything.

How many states are in the United States?

The United States has 50 states. All of them are shown on this map, and each one can be colored, labeled or numbered.

Which map projection is used?

This map uses the Albers equal-area conic (Alaska and Hawaii as insets) projection, chosen so the region keeps a natural shape and true relative sizes where possible.

Where does the map data come from, and whose borders are shown?

Boundaries come from Natural Earth, a public-domain dataset, and show de facto (on-the-ground) boundaries.
