This map quiz explores the major physical features of the United States, from coast to coast. Learn to locate the Great Lakes in the north, a vital source of freshwater and a key part of the region’s economy and history. Follow the Mississippi River as it flows south from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, forming one of the world’s largest river systems.

In the east, the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Alabama to Maine, forming an ancient and heavily forested range. Across the central part of the country, the Great Plains cover a vast area of flat grasslands that support much of the nation’s agriculture. To the west, the towering Rocky Mountains run through several states, marking the backbone of the continent and providing dramatic elevation changes.

Farther south, the Rio Grande forms part of the border between the United States and Mexico, while the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans define the nation’s western and eastern edges. Together, these landforms and waterways shape the climate, natural resources, and settlement patterns of the United States.

Use this quiz to test your understanding of the country’s geography and to see how well you can identify the most important mountains, rivers, plains, and bodies of water that define the United States.
