Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren’t Alaska and Hawaii in their real location on the map?

On this map, Alaska and Hawaii have been moved to keep all the states together in one compact image. In reality, Alaska is far to the northwest of the continent, above Canada, and Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far from California. This repositioning is a common layout trick to make the map easier to read.

Are these maps ideal for coloring?

Yes, these maps use black borders only with no fill background, making them perfect for coloring activities with crayons or markers.

What materials do I need to use these maps?

Just print them and use crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Lamination and dry-erase markers can make them reusable.
