Howdy partner! Let's test your knowledge on the US! In this unique quiz, all the answers to geographical, historical, and cultural questions will be somewhere on the map. Give it a try!
Population by city proper, not urban area. 2022 estimates.
The answer boxes for the desert category didn't display. I could see there were a couple of unanswered questions but had no idea what they could be because there were no answer boxes for them.
This was awesome, but I have some requests for type ins? Could DC be accepted for Washington, DC (as someone who lives in the area that what we normally call it), and could the Gateway to the West be accepted for the St. Louis arch?
Also, I've usually heard Lexington and Concord as being the first battle of the Revolution, so I was a bit confused by the answer of Boston for that one
For Boston, I was thinking of the Boston Tea Party. I'm obviously not American, so maybe I'm wrong about it, maybe it's more of a 'prelude to the revolution'.
Great quiz, but you might want to edit the "Teen Spirit" clue. The way it was worded, it was difficult to determine if you were asking for the song or the band.
While the Crazy Horse Memorial is definitely a "sculpted mountain" it's not even close to being finished (and quite controversial as it's not well loved by the Lakotas themselves). The other answer is by far more popular.
Why were the two volcanoes selected? Yes, they're both "active," but neither has done much in recent decades - or longer. I feel that better examples would be Kilauea in Hawai'i (erupts regularly; most recently in September 2023), and Mount St. Helens (catastrophic eruption in 1980, killing an estimated 57 people).
Man, tons of work, but my only rub is with the Hawaiian volcano. I tried Kilauea and I tried Mauna Loa, and honestly I thought i was spelling something wrong. There's something like 10 active volcanoes there, and knowing them all (and thus finally hitting the one the quiz is looking for) is a tall order. With no data to back my claim, I think the two I was trying are the most well known.
Mauna Kea is well known for being the “tallest” mountain in the world from base to peak, plus the fact that the mark is on the big island means it’s pretty easily identifiable
When my grandfather was a young boy, having moved back east from California, his teacher pointed to the map and asked the class to name the desert she was indicating. My grandfather piped up "The Mojave," pronouncing it "mo-hawv-eh." She immediately corrected him, telling him "No it's the Mojave," pronouncing it "mo-jave."
I've known that story since my childhood--and I still missed that question on this quiz.
You missed the volcano Mount St. Helens in Washington state. I remember the 1980 eruption.
The Battle of Antietam remains the bloodiest day in American history, with a tally of 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing on both sides during the Civil War.
Mount Shasta is a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California.
Really interesting format! It'd be fun to see this replicated for some other countries.
Small write-in request: adding "Tahoma" as an option for "Mount Rainier." You'll certainly hear that among locals and it's listed as an alternate on the Wikipedia page.
Pontiac nor Trump does not represent the will of the people that are local to those areas. Ignore the name-change. These same people accused the left of cancel culture and then they turn around and do the same thing as soon as they get into office. Un-American stuff.
No. To the locals, it will always be Denali, and the Gulf is still mostly Mexico. The name changes were stupid, sounds like the "cancel culture" the right blamed the left for. Plain stupid.

Completely forgot about the Bering Sea, I kept trying to type in the Caribbean Sea.
Also, I would personally switch the Cascade Range with the Smoky Mountain Range, but that's not my place to judge.
Unfortunately, these quizzes are not great on phones. The fonts are not preserved, causing misalignments.
