All 50 state capitals, each marked with a star where the city is and labeled with its name. Several capitals are not their state’s biggest city, which is what makes them tricky: Albany, not New York City; Springfield, not Chicago; Sacramento, not Los Angeles. The capitals of the small north-eastern states are in the margin with the state’s abbreviation. Pair it with the states and capitals quiz.
