What this map shows

All 50 states and the District of Columbia on the Albers USA projection, which moves Alaska and Hawaii into insets below the lower 48. Alaska is shrunk to fit, so its inset is not to the same scale as the rest of the map.

Together the states hold 3,144 counties and county-equivalents. Each state has its own sheet with county lines; pick one from the list below or from the blank maps index.
