Step-by-step solution for: Free Printable Blank Map of the United States Worksheets
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a map of the United States with each state labeled by its two-letter postal abbreviation. Below the map, there is a list of those abbreviations, and we need to write the name of the capital city for each state.
The first one is done as an example:
1. WA – Olympia → Washington’s capital is Olympia. That’s correct.
Now let’s go through each one carefully. We’ll use our knowledge of U.S. state capitals (or look them up if needed — but since this is homework, we assume you’re learning them!).
---
Here’s the full list with correct capitals:
1. WA – Olympia ✔ (given)
2. OR – Salem
3. CA – Sacramento
4. AK – Juneau
5. HI – Honolulu
6. NV – Carson City
7. AZ – Phoenix
8. UT – Salt Lake City
9. MT – Helena
10. WY – Cheyenne
11. NY – Albany
12. ID – Boise
13. MI – Lansing
14. WI – Madison
15. IL – Springfield
16. OH – Columbus
17. KS – Topeka
18. RI – Providence
19. CT – Hartford
20. NJ – Trenton
21. CO – Denver
22. MA – Boston
23. NH – Concord
24. ND – Bismarck
25. SD – Pierre
26. FL – Tallahassee
27. ME – Augusta
28. NH – Wait! NH is already #23. Let me check the list again…
Wait — looking back at the original list in the image:
The list goes from 1 to 30, and some states repeat? No — actually, let’s recheck the numbering from the user’s image description.
Actually, in the user’s text, it says:
> 1. WA - Olympia
> 2. OR -
> 3. CA -
> ...
> 30. MA -
So it’s 30 items total. Let me list them all correctly based on standard U.S. state capitals.
I’ll go one by one:
1. WA – Olympia
2. OR – Salem
3. CA – Sacramento
4. AK – Juneau
5. HI – Honolulu
6. NV – Carson City
7. AZ – Phoenix
8. UT – Salt Lake City
9. MT – Helena
10. WY – Cheyenne
11. NY – Albany
12. ID – Boise
13. MI – Lansing
14. WI – Madison
15. IL – Springfield
16. OH – Columbus
17. KS – Topeka
18. RI – Providence
19. CT – Hartford
20. NJ – Trenton
21. CO – Denver
22. MA – Boston ← wait, in the list above, #22 is MA? But in the user’s list, #22 is MA? Let me match exactly what’s written.
Looking back at the user’s input:
They wrote:
> 1. WA - Olympia
> 2. OR -
> 3. CA -
> 4. AK -
> 5. HI -
> 6. NV -
> 7. AZ -
> 8. UT -
> 9. MT -
> 10. WY -
> 11. NY -
> 12. ID -
> 13. MI -
> 14. WI -
> 15. IL -
> 16. OH -
> 17. KS -
> 18. RI -
> 19. CT -
> 20. NJ -
> 21. CO -
> 22. MA -
> 23. NH -
> 24. ND -
> 25. SD -
> 26. FL -
> 27. ME -
> 28. NH - ← Wait, NH appears twice? That can’t be right.
Hold on — in the user’s message, they have:
> 27. ME -
> 28. NH -
> 29. VT -
> 30. MA -
But earlier #22 was also MA? And #23 was NH?
That suggests maybe a typo in how the user copied it? Or perhaps the original worksheet has duplicates? Unlikely.
Wait — let me re-read the user’s exact text:
In their message, under “Solve the problem accurately”, they pasted:
> 1. WA - Olympia
> 2. OR -
> 3. CA -
> 4. AK -
> 5. HI -
> 6. NV -
> 7. AZ -
> 8. UT -
> 9. MT -
> 10. WY -
> 11. NY -
> 12. ID -
> 13. MI -
> 14. WI -
> 15. IL -
> 16. OH -
> 17. KS -
> 18. RI -
> 19. CT -
> 20. NJ -
> 21. CO -
> 22. MA -
> 23. NH -
> 24. ND -
> 25. SD -
> 26. FL -
> 27. ME -
> 28. NH - ← Here’s the duplicate!
> 29. VT -
> 30. MA - ← Another duplicate!
This must be a copying error. Because no worksheet would ask for NH and MA twice in a row like that.
Looking back at the original image description — the user said:
“Locate the capital of each state on the map, and write down its name below. There's a solved sample for you.”
And then lists 30 items.
But in reality, there are only 50 states, and this is likely listing 30 different states — so probably the duplicates are mistakes in transcription.
Perhaps #28 should be something else? Like DE or MD? But according to the map labels shown in the image (which I can't see, but based on common worksheets), let’s assume the intended list is unique.
Alternatively, maybe the user miscounted.
To fix this, I will provide the correct capital for each abbreviation as listed, even if duplicated — because sometimes worksheets do repeat for review.
But let’s proceed with accurate capitals for each code:
For any state abbreviation, here’s the capital:
- WA: Olympia
- OR: Salem
- CA: Sacramento
- AK: Juneau
- HI: Honolulu
- NV: Carson City
- AZ: Phoenix
- UT: Salt Lake City
- MT: Helena
- WY: Cheyenne
- NY: Albany
- ID: Boise
- MI: Lansing
- WI: Madison
- IL: Springfield
- OH: Columbus
- KS: Topeka
- RI: Providence
- CT: Hartford
- NJ: Trenton
- CO: Denver
- MA: Boston
- NH: Concord
- ND: Bismarck
- SD: Pierre
- FL: Tallahassee
- ME: Augusta
- NH: Concord (again)
- VT: Montpelier
- MA: Boston (again)
Even though NH and MA appear twice, we’ll fill them in correctly both times.
So final answers:
1. WA – Olympia
2. OR – Salem
3. CA – Sacramento
4. AK – Juneau
5. HI – Honolulu
6. NV – Carson City
7. AZ – Phoenix
8. UT – Salt Lake City
9. MT – Helena
10. WY – Cheyenne
11. NY – Albany
12. ID – Boise
13. MI – Lansing
14. WI – Madison
15. IL – Springfield
16. OH – Columbus
17. KS – Topeka
18. RI – Providence
19. CT – Hartford
20. NJ – Trenton
21. CO – Denver
22. MA – Boston
23. NH – Concord
24. ND – Bismarck
25. SD – Pierre
26. FL – Tallahassee
27. ME – Augusta
28. NH – Concord
29. VT – Montpelier
30. MA – Boston
Yes, even though #28 and #30 repeat, we answer based on the abbreviation given.
Final Answer:
1. Olympia
2. Salem
3. Sacramento
4. Juneau
5. Honolulu
6. Carson City
7. Phoenix
8. Salt Lake City
9. Helena
10. Cheyenne
11. Albany
12. Boise
13. Lansing
14. Madison
15. Springfield
16. Columbus
17. Topeka
18. Providence
19. Hartford
20. Trenton
21. Denver
22. Boston
23. Concord
24. Bismarck
25. Pierre
26. Tallahassee
27. Augusta
28. Concord
29. Montpelier
30. Boston
