Generalized Natural Earth boundaries. Largest cities use Census population estimates for July 1, 2025 within city boundaries, not metropolitan areas. Consolidated-city and Honolulu exceptions are explained on their cards. Alaska and Hawaii are inset at separate scales and positions; distances use real capital coordinates.
Landmarks are generalized. These are selected rivers, not the entire river network; this is a learning map, not a navigation map.
