The blank map of the USA is a printable political map that draws the borders of all 50 states, in black and white with no names on them, sized for A4 and printing on US Letter. Download it free as a PDF or a JPEG, either as the blank version with state lines or as a plain United States outline map with the country outline only.
Because the map is unlabeled, it works as a base for practice: students fill in the states, their capitals, the rivers and the mountain ranges themselves, and teachers use the same sheet for map quizzes, homework and school projects. It pairs well with our USA geography worksheets, and with the printable map of the United States when you need the names for reference.
For one state in detail, browse the blank US state maps. For the wider region, use the blank map of North America.
The image below shows the printable blank map of the USA with all 50 state borders, oceans and the Great Lakes. It is included in the United States blank map bundle.
USA Blank Map Bundle and More
The blank map and the outline map are free. The bundle adds eight versions of the same map:
- United States outline map
- Blank map of the United States
- Blank USA map with Great Lakes
- USA outline map with states and neighboring countries
- Blank map of the USA with state capitals
- Blank United States map with oceans
- U.S. blank map with state capitals and neighboring countries
- Labeled United States map for reference
The bundle includes PDF and JPEG versions of all maps.
The two free downloads are the blank map, which draws the borders between the states, and the outline map, which has the country outline only. The capital markers are part of the bundle: dots placed on the map without any names, so the sheet still works as an exercise rather than an answer key.
The 50 States and Their Capitals
The United States is divided into 50 states, and their capitals run from Juneau in Alaska to Honolulu in Hawaii, with Washington D.C. sitting outside any of them as a federal district.

Only a handful of these capitals are also the largest city in their state: Phoenix, Boston, Denver, Indianapolis, Columbus, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City and Nashville among them. Most are deliberately not, because nineteenth-century legislatures preferred a central location to a big one, which is why Albany rather than New York City and Sacramento rather than Los Angeles.
About the United States and Its States
The United States covers about 9.8 million square kilometres, which makes it the third or fourth largest country in the world depending on how China's borders are counted, and it holds roughly 342 million people. Alaska is by far the largest state at some 1.7 million square kilometres, more than twice the size of Texas, while Rhode Island is the smallest at around 4,000. California holds the most people at about 39 million and Wyoming the fewest at under 600,000. The Mississippi runs about 3,766 kilometres from Minnesota to the Gulf, the Rocky Mountains form the western spine and the Appalachians the eastern one, and Denali in Alaska is the highest point in North America at 6,190 metres. The country stretches across six time zones, borders Canada and Mexico, and its geographic centre lies in South Dakota once Alaska and Hawaii are counted. Those are the features students are usually asked to place, which is why an unlabeled base map is more useful for practice than a finished one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about the free blank map of the USA.
Does the blank map show all 50 state borders?
Yes. Every border between the 50 states is drawn, and none of them is named, so the map works as an exercise. Alaska and Hawaii appear in their own inset panels, which is the standard way to fit them on one sheet with the mainland.
What is the difference between the blank map and the outline map?
The blank map is a political map: it draws every state line but names none of them. The outline map has no internal borders at all, just the shape of the country, which is the version people use for tracing and for drawing in their own features.
Does the free map show the state capitals?
No, and that is deliberate: the free blank map shows state lines only, so students can mark the capitals themselves. The bundle adds a version with capital markers, shown as dots without names, so even that one still works as an exercise.
Is Washington D.C. on the map?
It is drawn, but it is not one of the 50 states. Washington D.C. is a federal district, which is why it has no state borders of its own and why quiz answers count 50 states rather than 51.
Can I print the map of the USA in A4 size?
Yes, every file is sized for A4 and prints on US Letter without cropping. The PDF keeps its line quality when enlarged, so the same download also works for a poster-size print or a classroom wall chart.
