Maps of the United States

The United States is a big country. At 9.8 million km² (3.8 million sq mi) it’s the world’s third or fourth largest depending on how you measure it, and it crosses six time zones. The territory took the better part of two centuries to fill out, starting from 13 colonies along the East Coast and eventually adding Alaska in 1867 and Hawaii in 1959. The maps below are some of the best currently available.
