4 places1876–1912

The Four Corners

Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah: the one spot in the country where four states meet, so a single road trip can take all four.
6 places1788–1820

New England

Six small states packed so close together that a long weekend can cover three of them.
13 places1787–1790

The Original 13

The thirteen colonies that became the first states, in the order they ratified the Constitution: Delaware in 1787 to Rhode Island in 1790.
9 places1787–1820

The Northeast

The Census Bureau's Northeast: New England plus New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Nine states, a few hours apart.
12 places1803–1889

The Midwest

The Census Bureau's twelve Midwest states, from the Great Lakes to the Dakotas: the part of the map people fly over and shouldn't.
16 places1787–1907

The South

The Census Bureau's sixteen Southern states, Delaware to Texas: the biggest of the four regions.
13 places1850–1959

The West

The Census Bureau's thirteen Western states, the Rockies to the Pacific plus Alaska and Hawaii: the long haul of the four regions.
48 places1787–1912

The Lower 48

Every state you can drive to: the 48 contiguous states, all of them one continuous road trip apart.
50 places1787–1959

All 50 States

Every state: the list people keep for a lifetime and show off as a map.
3 places1867–1873

The Maritimes

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island: three provinces on one stretch of coast, a single trip from end to end.
13 places1867–1999

Canada's Provinces & Territories

All ten provinces and three territories. The territories are the hard part: no road reaches Nunavut from the rest of Canada, so it's a flight.
