Texas is the second largest state in the US by area just after Alaska. This state is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify its former status as an independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico.

One Texan industry that thrived after the Civil War was cattle. Due to its long history as a center of the industry, Texas is associated with the image of the cowboy.

USA: State map of New Mexico

After all the holiday craziness and traveling, I received four postcards in my mail few days ago from Switzerland, USA, Poland, and Germany.

This postcard features a cartoon map of the state of New Mexico (NM). New Mexico is located in the southwestern region of US, and joined the country as the 47th state in 1912. Although the state capital of NM is Santa Fe, the largest city is Albuquerque, which is also the city where Breaking Bad took place.

Other than showing the cities, the lower left hand corner of the card also introduce other state facts. Road runner as the state bird; Black Bear as the state animal, and the yucca as the state flower.

This is such a colorful card showing this beautiful state. It makes me want to collect all other state map that's in the country.
