Last Updated . Click "Updates" above to see the latest.

Presenting an interactive map of the United States of America (USA) at a size and scale that can be used to track each of the states you have visited! All 50 states (+ Washington, DC) are visually recognizable (with apologies to Alaska and Hawaii) in a simplified retro graphic style built from one of four bold tile colors.

A minimal border frame with 3D depth effect provides an alphanumeric grid to locate each state from a slide-out location index of alphabetical names and two letter abbreviations. A concealed drawer holds 53 marking pins (51 map locations + 2 spares) for convenient storage and dispensing. The map features "USA 50" lettering, custom graphic scales in mile and kilometer length units (detachable for measuring) and a retro style brick-built compass rose. 

This wall hung design is buildable from pieces that currently exist (or have recently existed) but is only possible thanks to the new 45-degree 1x2 tile released beginning in 2024 (currently with limited color choices). This map achieves a level of detail that World Map, The Globe, and Travel Moments were not able to convey and can provide a format for mapping other continents, regions and countries across the world!
