The states have changed shape a lot since the founding of the USA. Some states became several, as with Massachusetts. Some states came into being and were reshaped repeatedly as maps were redrawn to satisfy other states or federal laws that were governed by geography. Some states' borders are determined by natural geography, as with the states on the coasts, or states bordered by rivers. Other states have borders created purely out of the imaginations of politicians and cartographers, such as with borders with no clear geographic boundaries to be seen in the world. All states are unique, but some states have commonalities. Nine states have panhandles, after all.
The USA has a lot of easily recognizable parts, but if those areas aren't local to you personally, could you recognize them on a map? If the USA were turned into a jigsaw puzzle with no clear outside edge, would you be able to reassemble even the state in which you live? While not a part of the citizenship test, the ability to recognize places on the map is important, even in this age of mapping apps on our phones. It's time to test your knowledge of American cartography! Can you recognize states just from a corner?
