About the USA Map with Capitals

The United States, which is a federation of 50 states and a federal district, Washington D.C., is divided into Northeastern, Midwestern, Southern, and Western.

Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Connecticut, South Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, and Florida are the states on the East Coast.

Tennessee is the birthplace of jazz and blues music, and some of the best American writers have come from the South. The states in the Southern USA have earned a reputation as the major hub for tobacco, sugar, and cotton farming.



The Western US is the largest region of the country, as it spans more than half the area of the contiguous US. Home to the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada Mojave Desert, and the Great Plains, it is the most geographically diverse region in America. It was inhabited after the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 19th century. California, New Mexico, and Arizona have strong Mexican and Spanish cultural influences.

The Midwestern United States (or simply the Midwest) comprises seven states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Known as the “Windy City,” Chicago is the largest city in the region. Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit, and Milwaukee are other major cities. Known for its French heritage, Sault Ste. Marie, in Michigan, was the first European settlement in the region.
