The United States of America

I need a large, blank outline map (of the 48 lower states) thats large. Not printing it, just putting it up for display on the monitor. Preferably it would fill up a 1024.768 screen, though it can be slightly smaller.

It must be very simple. Just lines, basically. No rivers, no cities, nothing like that.

And for a bonus, could someone also find either a full 50-state county map or at least individual maps of states (The most important being Texas, Utah, Florida, California, and Arizona).

Whoever does any of these things gets a prize.

When I first saw the thread, my first thought was... Here we go again...

Good luck getting a map.

Thats painfully small and it has labels....Also, I will need to fill in the map with color so a map without shades is also highly preferable.

Here's an even larger one:

Thats quite large

If its the best you can do then great, however....Something that FITS 1024x768, not exceeds it would be much better

Jaakko · January 24, 2003, 20:52

Hey Ming, check yer PMs!

ixnay · January 24, 2003, 20:57

Resized to 1024 width? No problem at all. Wait, the forum thinks it's too wide and my webspace is down. So here, I'll zip it:

Helps if I attatch the damn thing:

Come on, you coulda used photoshop to delete the state labels and expand it... lazy!

Nubclear · January 24, 2003, 21:01

Ixnay, I'm beginning to love you

But beginning is not all the way. Ill only love you IF....You can resize it one more time so that its a bit LONGER (this may not be possible.) and so Alaska and Hawaii are not there at all.

Do you mean you want it taller? Stretching it would distort it, but I could expand the canvas with more white space.

Hmm...I need a map thats ABOUT the size of 1024x768 thats I can fill in with colors (must be able to support this) and that isnt distorted (or only very SLIGHTLY distorted).

1024x768, cropped to be as wide as possible, no distortion, no Alaska or Hawaii:

Nubclear · January 24, 2003, 21:14

Problem is, its both of lower quality and coloring is a pain (Multiple states being coloured)

http://www.sportscharms.net/images/Maps/usa%20map.gif

could you possibly take two saves of this image (one on the extreme left ,the other on the right) and possibly paste them together like a puzzle so that it fits PERFECTLY? Though it would be bigger than the desired size, I can scroll.

The states being SLIGHTLY cut off is fine (Though Alaska and Hawaii, since they are not needed, can be completly or partially cut off. Whichever).

Thanks

ixnay · January 24, 2003, 21:21

The quality should be just fine, and I checked and the borders between the states are all solid. Might have something to do with it being a .png, so here it is as a .gif.

SlowwHand, I demand an explanation for that sloppy purple blob in the middle of that US map!

Oerdin · January 25, 2003, 00:30

Alrighty, I'm waiting to see how he photoshops it. I'm certain there will be a punch line soon.

There better not be any sloppy purple blot there!

SlowwHand · January 25, 2003, 01:18

What else could it be? A type of black hole in an otherwise decent and thriving environment.

If that purple blob expands over Iowa, I'm coming after you.

SlowwHand · January 25, 2003, 15:01

Actually, I thought the map I tried to provide was fairly well-done.

Only if you would, Uber

Just kidding of course.

Anyway, I got what I needed...This thread needs to be closed
