The data behind the map.
This map uses the official list of 63 units with the “National Park” designation—not every unit in the National Park System. The locator point describes where a park sits at national scale; it is not an entrance, trailhead, road, or navigation coordinate.

How this map was made.
Park identity and visitation come from the National Park Service. Annual values are Recreation Visits from the NPS Visitor Use Statistics data package; the visitation map averages 2021–2025 to keep one closure or exceptional year from dominating marker size. Park areas use NPS API cartographic boundaries, simplified for display. They do not establish land ownership or public access. State outlines come from the U.S. Census Bureau's cartographic boundary files.
The NPS API publishes Sequoia and Kings Canyon through a shared SEKI geography. For this national locator, their distinct points are centroids returned by the official NPS Land Resources Division boundary service. Dots stay at their source coordinates. Key labels prioritize up to 16 parks by five-year average recreation visits. Choose All labels to name every selected park, or choose names individually. Every name has a connector to its source location. Names have an outline for contrast. The canvas can expand to keep every name visible. Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands use separate insets at different scales. The two territory insets have no basemap.
Optional reference cities and towns use internal points from the 2025 Census Gazetteer. Small squares show selected reference places, not every city. Park names take priority, so some city labels are omitted where they would overlap.
Satellite imagery comes from the USGS National Map. Relief and elevation tint come from USGS 3DEP. These layers give terrain context, not current conditions or a measurable elevation scale. Imagery is clipped to the same state outlines as the color map.
Map questions.
How many National Parks are on the map?
All 63 congressionally designated National Parks are included. The larger National Park System includes many other designations, including monuments, historic sites, seashores, and recreation areas; those are not included on this map.
Can I use the map in an article or presentation?
Yes. The ready-made and customized maps are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Keep or reproduce the supplied National Sites Guide attribution, linked to our homepage. You may crop, recolor, annotate, and use the map commercially.
What does marker size mean on the visitation map?
Marker area represents each park's average annual Recreation Visits from 2021 through 2025. It is a visitation measure, not acreage, crowd density, or the number of distinct people.
Can I use a locator point for driving directions?
No. The points are suitable for a national overview only. Large and multi-entrance parks can span hundreds or thousands of square miles. Use the linked official NPS park page for entrances, roads, closures, and navigation.
