∙ 12y agoA political map shows the outline of each state of U.S.A, some portions of those states that are expected to vote or are voting Democratic/Republican/etc, and the outline of our country (plus Hawaii & Alaska) A physical map shows the outline of our country and all the states, and Beyond.....geographical info (mountainous/ plains/etc, latitude, longitude, bodies of water), some even show agriculture/animals, city sizes, population, etc. Personally, I prefer the physical map! ; )
