Geographical Map of the United States



The geographical map of North America provides an illustrated terrain of Canada, United States, and Mexico. The map portrays the general landforms and how each country is connected geographically. The United States has a broad mountainous region from the West expanding to the middle of the country. This can explain the interlinking of population dispersion within the country and why there is an extremely low density of population found in the mountains. In the Eastern region there is less mountainous terrain which can explain the reason behind higher population. This explains the less valleys in the East Coast. I find it surprising how much affect geographical terrain can have on the people living within the country. I did not know a large amount of land is a result of mountains and valleys, which gives the country a unique scenery.
