DescriptionTwo maps, one of most of the United States, excluding California, and the other of most of Central America south to Costa Rica. State boundaries are marked with broken solid lines, and national boundaries are marked with broken solid and dotted lines. State capitals are marked with a large circle surrounded by smaller circles (note that Connecticut shows both Hartford and New Haven as capitals). There are numbers and letters that appear on both maps that probably correspond with a workbook or textbook.
