About the continent

North America on the map

North America stretches from the Arctic and Greenland in the north to Central America and the Caribbean in the south. The map shows very large land areas such as Canada and the United States, but also island states and smaller countries that play an important role in the region's history, trade and tourism. The region is framed by long coasts on the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, while major mountain ranges, prairies and tropical archipelagos provide strong geographic contrasts.

Many searches about North America concern which countries count and how Central America and the Caribbean fit in geographically. This page makes that easy to see at a glance. You get a continent map, a sorted country list and can quickly navigate to countries such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, Guatemala or smaller territories that are often harder to place without a map.

As a hub page, North America is designed to work equally well on mobile and on larger screens. You get a quick overview of capitals and population size and a clear path through to in-depth country facts for every country in the region.
