50 Day State Countdown: # 23 – Maine

Admitted to the Union on March 15, 1820 as the 23rd state, Maine is part of New England. The Atlantic coast of Maine has over 400 islands, which formed during the last Ice Age when a great ice sheet compacted hills, forcing them down into the water so that only the tops of the hills remain. West of the coastline is fertile farmland and beautiful pine forests. The White Mountains of western Maine include spectacular Mount Katahdin, the state's highest peak and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Maine is also the easternmost state in the contiguous United States and is the first place to see the sunrise, although the exact location varies throughout the year.

50 Day State Countdown: # 24 – Missouri

Admitted to the Union on August 10th, 1821 as the 24th state, Missouri is often called the “Mother of the West” due to its role in westward expansion. It borders eight states, a number shared only with Tennessee. From the Boot Heel in the southeast to the Missouri River where it enters the state, Missouri is a land of plains, rich farmland, low mountains, caves and plateaus, and springs, rivers, and lakes. It is also known for its musical heritage, including ragtime, Kansas City jazz, and St. Louis blues, as well as its barbecue traditions in both Kansas City and St. Louis.

50 Day State Countdown: # 25 – Arkansas (We’re halfway there!)

Admitted to the Union on June 15th, 1836 as the 25th state, Arkansas was previously part of French Louisiana and the Louisiana Purchase. The state can generally be split into two halves: the highlands in the northwest and the lowlands of the southeast. From the forested valleys and hills of the spectacular Ozark Plateau through the Arkansas Valley with its exquisite river, to the lowlands along the Mississippi, Arkansas is a land of diverse beauty.

Why are Arkansas and Kansas pronounced differently? Both names stem from the term "Kansa," referring to a Native American tribe, but Arkansas ultimately chose a French pronunciation, while Kansas chose an English one.

50 Day State Countdown: # 26 – Michigan

Admitted to the Union on January 26th, 1837 as the 26th state, Michigan touches on four of the five Great Lakes—Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior. The state’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas are separated by the Straits of Mackinac and connected by the five-mile-long Mackinac Bridge. Michigan’s position at the heart of the Great Lakes has enabled it to become one of the nation’s major industrial states. It also boasts the longest freshwater coastline of any US state at 3,288 miles and is home to roughly 130 lighthouses, the most of any state.

The Lower Peninsula is famously shaped like a mitten, and residents often use a hand to point out where they’re from!

50 Day State Countdown: # 27 – Florida

Admitted to the Union on March 3rd, 1845 as the 27th state, Florida is the southernmost state in the lower 48. The Florida Uplands, running through the Panhandle in the northwest, give way to the meeting of the East Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains. The Big Cypress Swamp, The Everglades, and The Florida Keys mark this state as one of the most unique in the nation, and its bays and barrier islands are simply spectacular. Florida is famously flat, with an average elevation of just 98 feet above sea level. Nearly the entire state rests on a limestone platform, aside from the low hills on the Alabama border.

Florida is one of only two states with a tropical climate, alongside Hawaii, and the only state in the continental United States with a living coral reef system.

50 Day State Countdown: # 28 – Texas

Admitted to the Union on December 29th, 1845 as the 28th state, Texas is the second largest state by land area, and the largest in the contiguous US. The Lone Star State may be known for bluebonnets, pecans, and armadillos, but due to its size, its geographic variety is great. The Great Plains and the southern part of the Rocky Mountains spread through the Panhandle, and in the south, the Gulf Coast Plain runs into the Gulf of Mexico. Elevations rise fairly steadily from the south and east to the west, with distinct jumps along the Caprock Escarpment and west of the Pecos. The terrain ranges from coastal swamps and piney woods to rolling plains, rugged hills, desert, and mountains.

Texas got its nickname, the "Lone Star State," from the single star on its flag, which represents its time as the independent Republic of Texas. Along with Hawaii, it is one of only two states that were internationally recognized sovereign nations before joining the United States.

50 Day State Countdown: # 29 – Iowa

Admitted to the Union on December 28th, 1846 as the 29th state, Iowa is situated between the Missouri River and the Big Sioux River on the west and the Mississippi River on the east. It’s the only state whose east and west borders are formed almost entirely by rivers! Iowa has rolling hills and some of the most fertile soil in the country, situated in the heart of the Corn Belt.

Iowa takes its name from its predecessor, the Iowa Territory, which got its name from the Iowa River, which was named after the Ioway Tribe.

50 Day State Countdown: # 30 – Wisconsin

Admitted to the Union on May 29th, 1848 as the 30th state, Wisconsin is one of the Great Lakes States. Much of the state’s landscape was shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago, from the shores of Lake Superior in the north to the limestone and sandstone bluffs along the Mississippi River and the lake country around Lake Geneva.

Bordering both Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, Wisconsin has the third-longest Great Lakes coastline (820 miles), behind only Ontario and Michigan. Wisconsin’s thousands of freshwater lakes rank it fourth in the nation by number of lakes. Known as “America’s Dairyland,” Wisconsin is one of the nation’s leading dairy producers and is especially famous for its cheese.

50 Day State Countdown: # 31 – California

Admitted to the Union on September 9th, 1850 as the 31st state, California is the most populous US state and the third largest by land area. It's also one of the most geographically diverse states in the country. The Golden State is strikingly beautiful, from the spectacular volcano Mt Shasta in the north through the Coastal Range, Cascade Mountains, and fertile Central Valley to the San Francisco Bay, Sierra Nevada the beautiful Pacific Coast beaches, and stunning deserts of the southeast.

California is home to both the highest point in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft), and the lowest point in North America, Badwater Basin in Death Valley (-279 ft), which are less than 90 miles apart! California is also home to some of the world's most exceptional trees: the tallest (coast redwood), most massive (Giant Sequoia), and oldest (bristlecone pine).

50 Day State Countdown: # 32 – Minnesota

Admitted to the Union on May 11th, 1858 as the 32nd state, Minnesota is part of the upper Midwest and one of the Great Lakes states, bordering Lake Superior. Much of the state was shaped by glaciers during the last Ice Age, leaving behind gently rolling plains and thousands of freshwater lakes. Roughly one-third of the state is forested, while much of the rest is prairie and farmland. Although it’s known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” Minnesota actually has 11,842 lakes of at least 10 acres in size, the most of any state in the contiguous US. Minnesota is also home to the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River.

Minnesota’s Northwest Angle makes it the northernmost state in the contiguous US and is the only part of the lower 48 located north of the 49th parallel. This remote region, made up mostly of the massive Lake of the Woods and a small, isolated land area, exists because of a historical mapping error. Residents must travel across the lake or pass through Canada to reach the rest of the US.
