Each state is a puzzle piece. The major rivers, mountain chains, state capitals, and latitude and longitude lines, are all indicated tactilely. Underneath the puzzle pieces the map shows the boundaries of all fifty states with Braille state abbreviations. The map measures 32 1/2 × 18 inches and includes Braille and print reference guides that give facts about each state.
