United States Data Map By Google - This map of the United States is shaded based on state-by-state data. Just click on each state and set a custom color based on the information that you want to display. Then adjust the key at the bottom of the drawing to describe your custom data. The default data displayed is the population density from the year 2000 census. Notes: - States with multiple unconnected parts have been created as grouped shapes (eg. Hawaii, Michigan). - Washington DC starts as a grouped shape with Maryland. - Map can be changed to be displayed at any size. Using the same border for all states (eg. 1px white) is recommended. http://goo.gl/KjM3H

Map of the United States (Multi-colored) By Google - This map of the United States is colored with 5 standard colors to distinguish each state outline. Each set of same-colored states is a grouped shape, just click a state and change the color to choose custom map colors for all those states. A gray shadow of the states outlines adds a lightweight 3D effect. http://goo.gl/p58VS
