<span class="icon-link-ext"></span></a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> <p>The United States, officially known as the United States of America (USA), shares its borders with <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/canada">Canada </a>to the north and <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/mexico">Mexico </a>to the south. To the east lies the vast <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/oceans/atlantic-ocean.html">Atlantic Ocean</a>, while the equally expansive <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/oceans/pacific-ocean.html">Pacific Ocean</a> borders the western coastline. Spanning a total area of approximately 9,833,520 km<sup>2</sup> (3,796,742 sq mi), the United States ranks as the third or fourth-<a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/geography/the-largest-countries-in-the-world.html">largest country by total area</a>, depending on if one includes or omits water area, respectively. </p> <p>Furthermore, there are numerous <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/nalnd.htm">geographical regions</a> that form the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-are-the-contiguous-united-states.html">contiguous United States</a> as well as its various island territories and states. Last, the greatest east-west distance in the 48 contiguous United States is 4,500 km (2796 mi). In regards to north-south, the longest distance in the 48 contiguous states region is 2,660 km (1653 mi). </p> <p><strong>The Atlantic Coastal Plain:</strong> Starting in the eastern part of the country, the Atlantic Coastal Plain extends from the northeastern states down to <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/florida">Florida</a>, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It includes both low-lying, swampy areas, especially in the south, and more elevated regions to the north. </p> <p><strong>The Appalachian Mountains:</strong> Moving westward, one encounters the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/mountains/appalachian-mountains.html">Appalachian Mountains</a>, a system of ranges extending from the Canadian province of <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/canada/quebec">Quebec </a>to northern <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/alabama">Alabama</a>. These mountains, which include notable peaks such as Mount Mitchell, were among the first regions settled by Europeans in the colonial period. </p> <p><strong>The Great Plains:</strong> Beyond the Appalachian Mountains lies the vast expanse of the Interior Lowlands, also known as the Great Plains. This region covers much of the central United States and extends into Canada. The Great Plains, characterized by prairies and grasslands, are a hub for agriculture due to their fertile soil. </p> <p><strong>The Rocky Mountains:</strong> Further to the west, the landscape rises again into the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/mountains/rocky-mountains.html">Rocky Mountains</a>. This region, which covers a significant portion of western North America, boasts some of the highest peaks on the continent, including Mount Elbert. </p> <p><strong>The Intermontane Plateaus</strong>, including the Columbia and <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/plateaus/colorado-plateau.html">Colorado Plateau</a>, lie to the west of the Rocky Mountains. This region also contains the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/where-does-the-great-basin-desert-lie.html">Great Basin</a>, a largely arid area characterized by desert and salt flats. </p> <p><strong>The Pacific Coast Range:</strong> Finally, on the western edge of the continent, lies the Pacific Coast Range. This includes the coastal mountains along the Pacific Ocean, from Alaska all the way to <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/california">California</a>. This range also encompasses several active volcanoes and the renowned California coastal areas. </p> <p><strong>The Alaskan Range:</strong> Situated further to the north of the Pacific Coast Range lies the Alaskan Range. This region is home to <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/mountains/mount-denali.html">Mount Denali</a>, formerly known as Mount McKinley, which, at 6.2 kilometers (20,310 feet), is the highest point above sea level in the United States. The range extends across the breadth of <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/alaska">Alaska</a>, which itself is a massive, rugged, state that was purchased from <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/geography/russian-empire.html">Russia </a>in 1867. </p> <p><strong>Major Bodies of Water:</strong> The United States also boasts a wealth of major bodies of water, rivers, and islands. <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/lakes/the-great-lakes.html">The Great Lakes</a>, including Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, are located in the northeastern part of the country and form the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world by total area. </p> <p><a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/rivers/10-longest-rivers-in-the-united-states.html">Prominent rivers in the United States</a> include the Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Colorado. The Mississippi River, one of the longest in the world, flows south from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, effectively dividing the country into eastern and western halves. The Missouri River, a tributary of the Mississippi, is the longest river in North America. The Colorado River, famous for carving the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/national-parks/grand-canyon-national-park.html">Grand Canyon</a>, also contributes significantly to the landscape of the Southwest. </p> <p><strong>Islands:</strong> The United States claims numerous islands, with the largest being <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/united-states/hawaii">Hawaii</a>, located in the Pacific Ocean. Other significant islands include the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, and Puerto Rico in the <a href="https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/carib.htm">Caribbean</a>. Furthermore, the country has territories in the Pacific, such as Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, and in the Caribbean, like the U.S. Virgin Islands. </p> </section> <section> <h2 id="admin1Section" class="anchor_point">List of US States</h2> <figure class="map_wrapper content_media_fixed" itemprop="image" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <picture style="padding-top: 63.18%;"> <source media="(min-width: 768px)" sizes="960px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w960-q80/upload/ba/68/e7/state-us-map2019-2.png 960w"> <source media="(min-width: 410px) and (max-width: 767px)" sizes="768px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w768-q80/upload/ba/68/e7/state-us-map2019-2.png 768w"> <source media="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 409px)" sizes="500px" srcset="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w500-q80/upload/ba/68/e7/state-us-map2019-2.png 500w"> <img src="/r/w1200/upload/ba/68/e7/state-us-map2019-2.png" alt="Map of US States.
