Need to create a map of the United States? Save yourself some time and use this interactive map template. This template uses states and layers to display a fun fact about each of the 50 states. Download the fonts (Big Noodle Titling and Congratulations Folding) to get the exact look-and-feel!
Very nice! As a former history/geography teacher (and later K-12 curriculum developer), I would have loved to have had this 10 years ago!
BTW - The hover states are a little "wiggy" when viewed in IE 11 - but they're fine in Chrome.
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for creating this. I recently used it as a demo for a client on how to make data more interesting. I love maps and this one was so nicely done. Here's a link to show you what I did with it.

Love the design and presentation. Your presentations are always on point! I would love to have seen demographics in terms of ethnic groups (i.e. Native American, Hispanics, Blacks, Whites etc) AND specific years (i.e. 1919, 1819, 1719, 1619) BUT that would have required a lot more research! Still love this presentation. Two thumbs up!!
There is an easy way to do this rather than using multiple layers.
Just add the call-out box in the hover state of each item and there you go, the same output with just a base layer!
Thanks, Nicole. This was a great foundation for my eLearning Challenge ths week.

For my project I began by recoloring the map to be more "Veri Peri".

Hi Haydee! I believe Nicole got the map with all the freeform shapes by inserting an icon from Content Library 360. If you go to the Insert tab, click Icons, and then type “United States” in the search bar, you can find a similar map with all the freeform shapes grouped together.
