Shaded Oregon State Map Coloring Page
Coloring ideas for Oregon Maps
Use rich greens and earthy browns to color Oregon’s forests and mountains, and add ocean blue along the western coast. Highlight areas like Crater Lake with deep blue and draw pine trees, waterfalls, or clouds for a touch of creativity. Color each labeled city in a different bright color or write fun facts next to them. You can also label the surrounding states in the blank areas and use pastel tones to make Oregon the star of the page!
On the back of the page, why not write a few fun facts about Oregon, add drawings of what it's famous for, or create your own colorful version using your imagination?
What is Oregon?
Oregon is a beautiful state located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It is bordered by Washington to the north, Idaho to the east, Nevada and California to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The capital is Salem, and Portland is its largest city, known for its creativity and nature-loving vibe.
Oregon is famous for its forests, mountains, rivers, and coastline. It is home to Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the U.S. The state flower is the Oregon grape, and the state bird is the western meadowlark. Oregon’s economy includes forestry, technology, and agriculture. It has a population of over 4.3 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.
