Blank US Map for 4th of July Geography

A black outline map of the lower 48 United States shows every state border with no names, labels, or colors filled in. Alaska and Hawaii sit in the bottom left corner, each placed below a set of thin lines that separate them from the main map. Jagged coastlines trace Florida, the Great Lakes, Cape Cod, and the Gulf Coast, and the straight lines of western states like Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah stand out as neat rectangles. For a Fourth of July lesson, kids can color each state a different shade while talking about the original thirteen colonies along the East Coast. Older students can pencil in state names or mark where they have traveled. This free printable works well for a classroom geography review or a patriotic afternoon at home.
