Below is another version of this map which also includes the outlines of the Great Lakes.

The following USA outline map is almost the same as the one above. The only difference is that it includes the Great Lakes. Therefore, the border with Canada running through these lakes is now indicated by a dashed line.
The only lake that is shown entirely is Lake Michigan. All the other lakes are cut off in the map, because parts of them belong to Canada.
An outline map of the USA is the least detailed version of a United States blank map and particularly useful, if you want to practice your knowledge of all the borders and city locations. Simply try to draw all of them into the map! You can also use this map for a variety of other tasks. How about drawing the original living areas of the native American nations into this map?
