Can't get there from here ... a map challenge

simple map using two branches intersecting with the word
We once went apple picking and needed a map to find the place. Days later, I drew a simple one, this is how it started.

Maps (and geography) came up again this week with the question of where one state was situated within the United States.

We weren't sure.

So the challenge was presented ... how many states on a blank map of the United States could you place? We challenged one another.

I was certain I'd get most of them. He wasn't convinced he (nor I could place them).

Turns out he was right.

Living in the Northeast, I was able to identify all the states around Maine ... and along the east coast and west coast.

A few others like, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Idaho I got because I remembered them by their unique shape. Buy Idaho potatoes and chances are, there's an image of the state on the bag. Same here in Maine.

It was in the middle of the country where things got muddled.

It's Geography Awareness Week ... so how do you think you'd do identifying each state?
