Did you know that the United States Map Coloring Page was originally designed by cartographer Jody Broaddus in 1972?
It wasn’t until 1996 that it officially became the official United States map. The United States is known as one of the few countries in the world to have an “upside-down” map, with Alaska and Hawaii placed above the lower 48 states, rather than below them. In fact, this placement caused so much confusion that now many maps include inset boxes to better show the true positions of these two states.
Fun fact: did you know that there are actually four unrecognized states within the United States? These are New California, Jefferson, Hawaii Republic, and West Virginia. So next time you sit down to color in your United States map, keep these fun facts in mind!
Did you know that the United States has the third largest population in the world, with over 327 million people?
And while our country may appear to be one homogenous landmass on United States map coloring pages, we actually have fifty states and five major territories. On top of that, we have three distinct time zones – Eastern, Central, and Pacific – and our country spans over 3.8 million square miles. The United States is also home to a diverse array of cultures, languages, foods, and landscapes; from lush rainforests in Hawaii to desert terrain in Arizona to bustling cities like New York and Los Angeles. And let’s not forget about our national parks – each one unique and dedicated to preserving some of America’s most beautiful natural environments. So next time you go to color in the United States on a map, remember all the fascinating facts about this amazing country we call home.
