A blank map of the United States with every state outline and no names: the map most teachers ask for when they want students to fill in the states, plan a road trip or color a map of where they have been. The coastline is drawn in a bold line and the state borders in a thinner one, so the shape of the country stands out. Alaska and Hawaii are in the bottom-left corner. Write the names straight onto the map, or tap a state to color it online.
