USA county maps: choose a state

Build a territory map using the counties of one US state, or a connected group of states. Each county can have its own color, and you can also color every county in a state at once. Alaska boroughs and census areas, Louisiana parishes and other county-equivalent areas are included as county-level boundaries.

1. 1

   Open an individual state county map

   In More Maps, expand USA County Maps and choose your state. Links from the free state county download pages open that same state in the coloring tool. The existing USA-wide counties map is a separate choice.

2. 2

   Color individual counties

   Create names and colors under START HERE. Select a legend name, check that the button above the map says Colour: Counties, then click counties to assign them. County names are fitted inside the shapes; Map details lets you hide them or show city names and dots.

3. 3

   Color the entire state

   Click the mode button until it says Colour: States, then click inside the state. All its counties receive the selected legend color. Switch back to Counties to make exceptions. Zooming does not silently change the mode.

4. 4

   Combine counties across state borders

   Choose Combine Multiple States in the county section. Select a connected group of up to three states, with Alaska allowed separately. Load before purchase; edit the combined counties with one legend. ZIP and county maps cannot be mixed in the same combination.

5. 5

   Choose the access that suits you

   One state is £25 plus VAT where applicable; the selected-state bundle totals the states you do not own; all 50 county states are £150 plus VAT where applicable. Access lasts 12 months. The corresponding ZIP products have the same prices but separate access.
