Missouri Geography at a Glance
Missouri sits where the Midwest meets the South, and it borders eight states — tied with Tennessee for the most in the country: Iowa to the north; Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee to the east across the Mississippi River; Arkansas to the south; and Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska to the west. The Missouri River cuts across the state and joins the Mississippi near St. Louis. The rolling Ozark Plateau covers the south, while flatter plains stretch across the north.
Teaching Ideas for This Map
Have students trace the Missouri and Mississippi rivers to the point where they meet, count the eight bordering states, or locate the capital and their nearest city. Pair this reference with the blank Missouri map so learners can label the 114 counties and the capital from memory, then self-check.
