How To Assemble Multi-Page Maps:
- After printing the map pages lay them out to determine the proper order.
- Starting at the upper left corner (the northwest corner), trim the pages on the right or bottom edges where there is a dotted line.
- Be sure not to trim the bottom edges of the bottom row of the map or the right edges of the right column.
- Take the upper left corner sheet and overlap it onto the sheet to its right up to the dark gray line.
- Tape them and then continue across to complete the top row.
- Add rows one at a time.
Free printable outline maps of the United States and the states.
The United States goes across the middle of the North American continent from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. The USA borders Canada to its north, and Mexico to the south. The states on the south-east coast are lapped by the Gulf of Mexico, where the Mississippi flows into the sea. Kids can color in and label the Great Lakes (Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and Lake Huron), the Great Salt Lake, Lake Cheechobee and the Everglades in Florida. Students can trace the Mississippi/Missouri Rivers, the Colorado River and the Rio Grande. For more detail, the Potomac river, the St. Lawrence and the Columbia river could be added, and even the Erie Canal. The Rocky Mountains running from north to south in the west, and the Appalachians in the east should be added, and also the Ozarks in Arkansas and Missouri.
