How This Printable Blank United States Map Is Built

This printable blank outline map of the United States is generated directly from the U.S. Census Bureau’s cartographic boundary files (cb_2023_us_state_20m and cb_2023_us_county_20m) using a composite Albers Equal-Area Conic projection (geoAlbersUsa). Unlike standard Web Mercator maps that severely stretch northern states along the Canadian border, an equal-area conic projection preserves relative land area proportions across the contiguous 48 states while placing scaled insets for Alaska and Hawaii in the lower-left corner.
