Make a map of the states you’ve been to

Start with the places you remember most clearly: your home state, a family vacation, a college move, or the stops on a cross-country drive. Click a state once to mark it visited. A second click records that you have lived there; the next marks it as a place you want to go. One more click returns it to unvisited. The colors and legend make these different kinds of connection visible without mixing future plans into past travel.

The US states checklist beside the map is another way to enter the same information. Search for a state by name, tick its box, or choose its exact status from the menu. The checklist and map update together. This is especially helpful for smaller northeastern states and for selecting places on a phone.

How the 50-state counter works

The total is the 50 US states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Washington, DC and US territories are outside this particular checklist. A state marked Visited or Lived counts once toward your total; Want to go does not count. Your percentage is the number of visited states divided by 50, rounded to the nearest whole percent. For example, 23 visited states means 46% of the checklist, rather than 46% of US land area.

You decide what qualifies as a visit. Some travelers count a drive through a state; others count only an overnight stay or time outside an airport. Pick a rule you can apply consistently. The tool does not use GPS, verify visits, or infer your travel history. Alaska and Hawaii appear in separate insets for readability, so their displayed size is not comparable with the mainland.

Save your state map and plan what comes next

Changes save automatically in this browser. To keep a portable backup, create a share link and copy it somewhere you control. The link contains a snapshot of your selected states and their statuses, so anyone who has it can open that version. It does not become a continuously updated public profile. If you change your map later, create a new link for the updated selections.

Download a PNG when you want a simple image for a message, scrapbook, or travel recap. The card includes your map, state count, legend, and MapMoment branding. Clearing browser data can remove the local copy; keeping a link alongside the image lets you restore editable selections. For a wider view of your travels, try the country map or Canadian provinces next.
