Draw All US State Borders - Extreme

Type the name of two US states that share a border, and that border will be drawn. Also, draw the coasts and international borders. To make coasts, put the name of the state and the body of water. For the great lakes, you must specify which lake it is. To make international borders, put the name of the US state and the name of the state in the other country (Canada or Mexico).

Also, check out my other quizzes Here.

Don't forget the non-contiguous states, they're in here :)

Do they really border though?

I also prefer it this way. If those "borders" were included they would all be the one and the same pixel.

Level 45

Oct 11, 2021

Please accept British Colombia as an answer. I typed it over and over before I realized the abbreviation.

+10

Level 56

Oct 11, 2021

It’s British Columbia not Colombia so it would work if u put the u instead of the o. I can still change the type-in to allow that misspelling tho

Level 64

Dec 21, 2021

Indeed, Colombia is the name of a country in South America, which derives from the Spanish word for Columbus.

Columbia derives from the English word for Columbus.

People often mix both of these names up.

Level 65

Feb 10, 2022

Columbus is the English word for Columbus. Columbia is the name of the place that Columbus discovered. But it didn't catch on- the world preferred to call it America. People from the United States call themselves Americans, which annoys others from the Americas, who wonder why they can't be called Americans. Of course, if Americans called themselves Columbians that would really annoy the Colombians.

Level 64

Nov 5, 2021

Can you accept Gulf of Mexico as well as Gulf?

Level 56

Jan 5, 2022

Sorry for taking so long but I fixed the type-ins for gulf borders and ocean borders idk what I was thinking when I made this quiz

Can you make it clear that it is not just the contiguous United States in the rules?

Dec 21, 2021

Very nice quiz but please add at least double as much time.

A lot of typing is needed to type all the bordering areas.

Level 55

Jan 23, 2022

Alaska does NOT border British Columbia so dont say it does.

But… it does tho. U ok?

Level 88

Jan 24, 2022

Very adamant for being so wrong. Alaska absolutely does border BC.

Level 57

Jan 26, 2022

It has QUITE a long border in fact, not one that's easily missed when you look on a map. (The near-entirety of the Alaskan Panhandle borders BC)

Level 74

Jan 29, 2022

Indeed, the capital of Alaska is just next to BC.

Level 78

Jan 24, 2022

This website, and this quiz in particular, has made me a much more proficient typist. My wrists are killin' me!

Level 55

Jan 15, 2023

I'm glad someone else mentioned this because it's exactly the same as me. About 5 years ago we did the Countries of the World quiz in one of my classes and I was determined to memorize them all. And eventually I did! But I realized that during that time I probably doubled my typing speed and even though I don't do it the perfect typing method way, I barely have to look at the keys so I call that a win lol!

Level 92

Jan 24, 2022

Love this quiz. Takes a while but it's worth it for the enjoyment as well as learning where all the states adjoin each other as well as Mexico and Canada. Well done!

Why no Washington, D.C.? The border between Maryland and Virginia should have a D.C. gap otherwise, as well as the D.C. / Maryland border.

Level 73

Jan 27, 2022

Seconded.

Level 71

Feb 8, 2022

absolutely. If you're going to include oceans, why not borders where several hundred thousand U.S. residents live.

Jun 18, 2022

Well I tried. Ig I can’t tho… :(

Level 83

Jan 24, 2022

Really fun quiz, good new spin on US state quizzes. Would love to see these for other countries, or maybe for the EU, but I'm sure it's a lot of work.

Level 56

Jan 25, 2022

It is indeed a good amount of work but I really enjoy making map svgs. If I can find time, I'll try to make another one :)

Level 74

Jan 24, 2022

My fingers are exhausted!

Damn Tennessee and all its borders!

I was afraid you were going to require us to list river crossings as well....

Can even Mexicans spell Tamaulipas without a hitch?

(My problem is I used to live in the Bay Area, and kept typing Tamalpais after the small mountain north of San Francisco.)

Level 56

Jan 25, 2022

Massachusetts is worse than Tennessee lol. I manage to remember how to spell Tamaulipas after taking the Mexican states quiz at least 30 times

Level 68

Jan 27, 2022

I agree about Massachusetts. And I've practically given up on learning how to spell Saskatchewan <- copy/pasted this one :)

Level 90

Jan 29, 2022

In Spanish Tamaulipas is spelled just the way it sounds, so no problem there. The silent "h" in Coahuila or Chihuahua might be a challenge though.

Level 70

Jan 25, 2022

stellar quiz man. my fingers hurt a little bit but I've gotta commend you for this. good stuff

Level 73

Jan 25, 2022

Wow, great quiz! Only missed some of the Mexican ones. It took some time to spell Saskatchewan right, I never noticed that my usual spelling, Saskachewan, was not the correct one. It is always weird to spell something for years only to realize it is just one of the standard type-ins for some quizzes.

Level 78

Jan 25, 2022

Great quiz - those Mexican states take some spelling

Level 75

Jan 25, 2022

Some answers required "ocean" like Massachusetts-Atlantic Ocean, while others just needed the name. Kind of uneven.

Level 56

Jan 25, 2022

None of them require ocean… typing “massachusettsatlantic” will work

Level 67

Jan 25, 2022

Fun fun fun!

Level 78

Doesn't Texas border Nuevo Leon?

Level 56

Jan 28, 2022

Yes it’s on there?

Level 75

Jan 28, 2022

Not bad, TOG25. Not bad at all. You get my vote.

Level 75

Feb 1, 2022

Excellent, TOG25. I am getting addicted to this quiz. I am not from the USA but I feel I could teach US geography blindfolded to any number of US high schoolers. I noticed something doing this quiz that I always pondered about. The small corridors left open between two states so that a third state has access to a fourth state that in reality should not even be on speaking terms. And the size of these corridors! Really? Delaware and Pennsylvania. Can you fit a bus through the gap?

Level 75

Feb 1, 2022

My mistake re Delaware and Pennsylvania. That isn't a corridor. That is a rudely slammed door on someone's part. I think it sweet that they let New Hampshire have a beach on the Atlantic... all five hundred yards of it. The Oklahoma panhandle was a brilliant example of diplomacy and brotherhood. It was really big of Texas to join the party.

Level 56

Feb 1, 2022

The Delaware Pennsylvania border actually isn’t that small. It’s the whole weird circle thing at the top of delaware

Level 87

Feb 1, 2022

tried and failed to do this on my phone but on the desktop it was a breeze

Level 75

Feb 1, 2022

I was beginning to have a long-distance admiration and a kind of heterosexual fondness for you TOG25. That... alas... is now at an end. DELAWARE/NEW JERSEY?

Feb 2, 2022

I am still using your quizz as a guideline, ThatOneGuy25. My eight-year-old daughter has taken to it like a fish to water. She cannot understand 'Gulf' instead of 'Caribbean', though.Too many Johnny Depp movies I think.

Level 56

Feb 7, 2022

i love this quiz! i'm really good with canada, usa and the great lakes, but man i'm bad at mexico. i guessed only the baja

Level 53

Feb 8, 2022

Smell cheating; people looking at a map, copy & paste.

Level 80

Feb 9, 2022

For most geography enthusiasts, this shouldn't have been that bad. The Mexican states would be the biggest challenge for most people, in addition to not forgetting a few obscure state borders. It's A LOT of typing, though.

Level 48

Feb 8, 2022

Fantastic quiz, I didn't cheat but was sad about the 2 Mexican states which border Texas I forgot. A note: "West Virginia Ohio" works but "Ohio West Virginia" doesn't, I got stuck on that for a minute.

Level 44

Feb 8, 2022

Excellent quiz!

However, should be a bit more forgiving to foreigners. Not only we are learning US geography, but to torture us with spelling. Lost a lot of time typing Rhodes over and over again, to find out after the quiz that it is Rhode Island :D

Massachusetts is something which also took minutes to figure out.

Result - disappointing 108

In summary, great test, but should be made easier for those who know, but cannot spell properly the names.

Level 58

Feb 8, 2022

The quiz is supposed to be hard, and there is no alternative to the spelling of names of most places

Level 85

Feb 12, 2022

You can type Masachusets though, as well as misouri, tenesee, misisipi, etc. So yes, a lot of leniency already.

I simply didn't have enough time I am afraid, typing typing typing, I just couldn't enter everything... although I did lose a fair few seconds to the misspelling "Eerie" - it just looks so right! Am working on my touch typing but still can't reliably beat low-30s wpm.

Enjoying this one, I never quite learned the Canadian and Mexico borders, very difficult to spell them. That lake erie was giving me troubles, lake micigan and ontario were easy to remember, but now got them figured out.

Funny, the 3 I was missing badly were Nebraska, Missouri, and Kentucky, all 3 had many borders, and with Mimal helping me with Missouri, really helps crack the center blob of midwest.

Could you include official state abbreviations (used by postal code)? the dakotas and carolinas were killing me, but it'd also be faster if you could put in "NE IA" for example

These shouldn't be general type-ins for those states but for this quiz when you're picking two it would work really well.

So....do New Mexico and Utah border each other? If so, then logically, Arizona and Colorado would not. Either way, something has to give, or..... there would have to exist a microscopically small dot, smaller than an electron, in between the 4 states.

Level 55

Nov 29, 2023

Absolutely love this quiz! One of my favorites on Jet Punk. Getting used to typing Tennessee and Missouri several times. I'm curious, though, how you do NOT include DC (a US territory) that would help fill in Virginia and Maryland... but you DO include a Canadian territory (Yukon) to fill Alaska's border.
