Visit the website: "Do-It-Yourself" State Maps
Free
Grade Level All Ages (K-12)

From site:  In interpreting and illustrating events taking place in some locations and not others, the use of shaded or "color-contrasted" maps can be useful. This webform allows you to choose up to six different groupings of states [or counties in a state] - along with your title, choice of colors and labels. A computer program will then draw a US map (as a "gif" format file) with your groupings shown in the selected colors. The map can then either be printed or saved and used later. For printing purposes, a color printer is, of course, ideal!

LearningReviews.com note: This is a simple, basic tool for displaying color coded information by state grouping or by groupings of counties within a state.
