The Arizona Geographic Alliance and ASU’s School of Geographical Sciences have collaborated to produce the outline maps and thematic maps available here. They are a product of communication between teachers and ASU student cartographers, guided by Alliance coordinators Gale Ekiss and Ron Dorn and cartographers Barbara Trapido-Lurie and Becky Eden. The National Geographic Society, Arizona Department of Education and National Council for Geographic Education have provided invaluable support.

To explore other web sites with downloadable maps, click on Resources at the right, and scroll down the page to the Maps section.

The maps are provided to teachers for their classroom use without any copyright restrictions. If you are seeking to republish these maps, please contact barbara.trapido-lurie@asu.edu.
