World map features and places to know

As  you begin your studies of U.S. history, it's very helpful to know the locations of the continents, oceans, and other basic map features.  The map below will help you get started.










Note:  The map above shows Great Britain, but not in enough detail to distinguish the separate areas of Ireland and Northern Ireland.  Northern Ireland remains part of what is known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly called the United Kingdom (U.K.) or Britain.
