Physical Map of the United States
A physical map of the United States that features mountains, landforms, plateaus, lakes, rivers, major cities, and capitals is provided on this page. The United States has land borders with both Canada and Mexico to the north and south of it. It also has territorial water borders with Russia in the northwest and Florida and Cuba and the Bahamas in the southeast. The contiguous forty-eight states are otherwise bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the southeast by the Gulf of Mexico. Alaska is bounded to the south and southwest by the Pacific Ocean, to the west by the Bering Strait, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean, while Hawaii is located far to the southwest of the mainland in the Pacific Ocean.
The geography of the eastern United States is diverse. The Florida peninsula is part of a vast, flat coastal plain that runs along the Atlantic and Gulf beaches from the Texas-Mexico boundary to New York City. The longest and largest beaches in the United States are made up largely of soft, white sands over this huge coastal plain and barrier islands. A group of coral islands known as the Florida Keys extend to the southernmost city on the American mainland. Further, inland, there are undulating hills, mountains, and a variety of damp and wet temperate and subtropical forests. The five Great Lakes are found in the north-central region of the country, with only Lake Michigan wholly within the United States. Four of the Great Lakes are part of the Canadian border.
In the USA, there are 73,301 named mountains. Denali is the tallest and most prominent mountain. The United States is third in terms of area in the world with 3.8 million square miles. All these mountains can be found in Physical Map of the United States, which is provided on this page.
There are more than 250,000 rivers in the United States, totaling around 3,500,000 miles. The Missouri River, a tributary of the Mississippi River, is 2,540 miles long and the longest river in the USA, but the Mississippi River, which is deeper, has the most water volume. Missouri River is the largest river and other prominent rivers like Mississippi River, Yukon River ,Rio Grande, Arkansas River, Colorado River, Red River, Columbia River...etc can be found in Physical Map of the United States.
The United States has about 250 fresh-water lakes that are known to have surface areas of 10 square miles or more. Nearly 100 of these are in Alaska and 100 in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and Maine. The five Great Lakes of USA are Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario. All the lakes that are located in USA can be seen in this Physical Map of the United States given here.
The North American Desert is made up of the four principal deserts in the United States, which are the Great Basin, Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan. These deserts are all found in the western United States. Sonoran and Chihuahuan even extend into parts of Mexico. These great deserts can be witnessed in the Physical Map of the United States.
