Learn American Geography

Sir FabulousSir Fabulous Malevolent Squid GodRegistered User regular
Hi folks,

A lot of people aren't familiar with American geography and I think that's a shame.

This is a nation. With lots of places.

Now, I'm not an American myself, but I do live pretty close by, so even though I've never studied the exact geography myself, I've absorbed a perfect mental map of the United States through cultural osmosis (did you know Louisiana is shaped like a boot?)

So, come with me and learn a thing or two about the US of A. You might be surprised at what you don't know!

Now, what I've done is painstakingly label the most accurate map of the US that's ever been created.
How many states can you name? Hahaha, that was a good try.

Now, compare your answers to the correct ones below! :)

Happy learning friends!

    "New Mexico" actually ends in the city of Pueblo, about a third of the way up through Southern Colorado. Common mistake

    I just want to get ahead of any criticism here and say probably 75% of this map was an earnest attempt and then there were like 15 States left and I couldn't remember any more.

    Since I made the map I have remembered Missouri, The Fact that it's North Dakota instead of just Dakota, and now Colorado of course because someone else already said it in the thread.

    Oh and Vermont.

    I worked my way from the top-left to top-right, down and around, and then got to the middle last

    and for some reason, in that order, "can't forget about Connecticut" as one of the last ones I read absolutely killed me. actual lol on that one

    This is about 350% better than anything my American education could produce if you gave me a blank map of like, Europe or Canada

    I think the most egregious mistake is Massachusetts being in the great plains. What.

    This is reminding me of that map that had the (fake) most popular fast food in each state and had Jollibee in Michigan and people lost their minds.

    It’s a shame that the whole internet wants you to learn American geography but America has no interest in learning anyone else’s geography. I think those of us blessed enough to be from Not The Great Satan should help by tutoring them in our homelands also.

    To start, I’ve made a map of Australias states and territories, and some of our most important towns and regions. (I know people get confused about Australian state names so I’ve put those in boxes)

    Also I’ve probably left off some of our other Aussie forumers hometowns and favorite spots, they should feel free to add to this map, or make a new and improved version
