Shaded Nevada State Map Coloring Page
Coloring ideas for Nevada Maps
Use sandy beige or light brown to reflect Nevada’s desert terrain, and try adding bright colors for cities like Las Vegas and Reno to make them pop. You can add small illustrations like cacti, dice, or stars to show the state’s mix of nature and entertainment. For blank outline versions, label neighboring states and color each one in a soft pastel shade to make Nevada stand out. Don't forget the beautiful blue of Lake Tahoe near the northwest corner!
On the back of the page, why not write a few fun facts about Nevada, add drawings of what it's famous for, or create your own colorful version using your imagination?
What is Nevada?
Nevada is a southwestern state in the United States, bordered by Oregon and Idaho to the north, Utah to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and California to the west. Its capital is Carson City, and its largest and most famous city is Las Vegas, known for entertainment, casinos, and bright lights.
Nevada is known for its desert landscapes, mountain ranges, and wide open spaces. It has a strong mining history and is one of the driest states in the country. The state bird is the mountain bluebird, and the state flower is the sagebrush. Nevada has a population of over 3.2 million (as of July 2024).

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.
- → Are these maps good for school projects?
Yes! The printable state maps can be used in classrooms, geography assignments, or homeschooling lessons.
- → 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.
- → Can I resize or adjust these printables before printing?
Yes, you can change the scale or fit settings in your printer options to make the printables smaller or larger as needed. This works for coloring pages, mazes, sudoku, worksheets, and more.
- → How can I print these printables?
Click on the download PDF button to save the file to your device. Open it using a web browser or PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat Reader. Then, click the print icon or use the shortcut (usually Ctrl+P or Cmd+P), choose your printer, adjust settings (orientation, margins, number of copies, etc.), and print.
- → Why is there still a margin even when I selected full page with 0 margins?
This may happen if your printer doesn’t support borderless printing. Many home printers add a small automatic margin. To fix this, check if your printer allows borderless printing or adjust the layout to fit inside the printable area.
