![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are 50 states in the United States, and that means there are about 50 unique stories that explain how each state got its shape. Although there's no single, simple answer to that question, let's investigate some of the factors that shaped the way the states look. For example, it can be difficult to distinguish Wyoming from Colorado and North Dakota from South Dakota unless you see them in context, because they have such similar shapes.Ĭurious Wonder Friends from all over the United States have WONDERed for some time about how the states got their shapes. However, there are also many states that have similar shapes and aren't easy to identify by themselves unless you see them in context on the map of the entire United States. For example, the states of Texas and Florida have interesting shapes that just about everyone recognizes at first glance. If you look at a map of the United States, it's easy to identify certain states that have unique shapes. We spend hours just looking at maps and dreaming of visiting every state, country, planet, and imaginary land that exists anywhere and everywhere! Do you love maps? Here in Wonderopolis, we have a room that's filled with nothing but maps. ![]()
