18  VISITING THE USA

Putting the USA on the Map

Spreading over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) east to west between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,
the United States covers the heart of the North American continent and has a population of
321 million people. Bordered by Mexico to the south and Canada to the north, it extends for
over 1,500 miles (2,414 km), covering more than 3.5 million sq miles (9 million sq km), and
includes climates from the tropics to the Arctic Circle. The continental US is divided into Lake
48 states. These, together with the two states, Alaska in the extreme northwest, and the Winnipeg
islands of Hawai‘i in the Pacific Ocean, compose the 50 United States of America.
The national capital is Washington, DC, a small federal district located between the
states of Maryland and Virginia.
