Rochester, New York is New York state`s third most populous city with a city population of 210,565. The metro population in its entirety is 1,054,322. It is located in Monroe County, with the metro area extending into Genesee County, Livingstone County, Ontario County, Orleans County, and Wayne County.

Buffalo NY Map

Look down at the lower section of the page for a good Buffalo map to help you navigate the city and area.

Buffalo, NY is the second largest city in the state, after New York City. It has a population of 261,310, and its extended metro area has a population of 1,215,826. It may be the second largest city in the state, but it is a far cry from the massive metropolis that is New York City.

Buffalo is located in the Western part of New York State, on the eastern shore of Lake Erie, at the head of Niagara River. For Erie, Ontario lies just on the other side of Niagara River. Toronto, Ontario is about 100 miles (160 km) from Buffalo, and about a 1.5 to 2 hour drive plus any delays at the border crossing. Some people claim that you can see the CN Tower from Buffalo on a VERY clear day.

The population of Buffalo is approximately 54.43% white, 37.23% black, 1.4% Asian, and 7.54% Hispanic.

Winters are long, and can be very cold and snowy. Summers are warm, pleasant, and generally sunny throughout June, July, and August.

Oklahoma City Map

Look down below for some fantastic Oklahoma City map images that will help you during your visit.

Oklahoma City is the capital of the state of - you guessed it - Oklahoma. It is also the most populous city in the state with a total population of 579,999. The metro population is significantly larger, clocking in at 1.25 million (more or less). Oklahoma is the eight-largest city in the country based on land area, meaning that this is quite a spread-out city and isn`t as densely populated as most cities of its size.

The population is about 68.4% white, 15.4% African American, 3.5% Native American, 3.5% Native American, and 10.1% Hispanic (of any race including mixed race).

The climate of Oklahoma City is semi-arid, with hot and humid summers and cold dry winters. It is known as one of the most tornado prone cities in the United States, with a "severe weather season" taking place between March and August - and most intensely in April and May.

Louisville Map

A Louisville map for your reference can be found down below the destination overview.

Louisville, Kentucky is another one of those cities whose population suddenly went through the roof in a single day - that`s because of a merger that made the entire county a part of Louisville city. The city is found in the southeastern part of the state, adjacent to the borders of Kentucky and Indiana (which are marked by the Ohio River).

Kentucky is not exactly located in the deep south, but its culture is generally thought of as southern and the deep south has definitely had an influence on Kentucky. Louisville is often nicknamed "the northernmost Southern city" in the US.

The city`s population is 741,096 (in its consolidated borders). In the old borders it would be 597,337. The population is about 75% white, 23% black, 0.6% native American, 2% Asian, 2.9% Hispanic (though Hispanic is technically not a racial category).

Virginia Beach Map

By scrolling down towards the bottom of the page, you can find some good Virginia Beach map images.

Virginia Beach is a city situated in the state of Virginia. It is an independent city, which means that it is not a part of any county. The city population is just 438,000 - not too big, right? But the entire metropolitan area surrounding the city has a total number of around 1.7 million.

The climate of Virginia Beach is humid subtropical. That means that the summers are hot and humid, while winters are mostly mild and there is little snowfall. These beautiful weather conditions, as well as the city`s location on the Atlantic Ocean have made Virginia Beach into a population resort city aimed at vacationers.

Portland Maps

Portland maps to guide you on your journeys in Oregon can be found down below.

Portland is located in the US state of Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest Region. It is situated in the northern part of the state, close to the border with Washington State. Vancouver, Washingtown lies just across the state border. After Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, Portland is the third largest city in the Pacific Northwest Region. It has a city population of 583,776 people, which means that it is the 29th biggest city in America. The Greater Portland metropolitan area has a population of about 2.26 million, making it the 23rd most populous metro area in the USA.

Portland is often referred to as one of the most "green" (ie. environmentally conscious) cities in the world. This is because of its excellent public transportation, and efficient urban planning, zoning, and land use.

Like most of the Pacific Northwest, Portland sees mildly warm, dry summers that are fairly short, and mildly cold, wet winters that are long. The fall and spring are distinct, but seem like transitional periods into and out of winter. Those seasons can be just as cool and wet as the winter season.

Pittsburgh Map

Look down below the city overview to find a good map of Pittsburgh PA.

Pittsburgh is a major city and the second largest city in the US state of Pennsylvania (after Philadelphia). The city itself has a population of merely 305,704, which isn`t that big compared to Philadelphia.

Historically, Pittsburgh was known as a steel mill city, yet there are presently no more steel mills left in the city - with only 2 left in the county.

Minneapolis Map

Check down below the city description to find a Minneapolis map for your reference.

Minneapolis is the largest city in the US state of Minnesota, the 48th largest city in the USA with a population of 382,578. This makes it sound like a small city, but in reality it is a central component of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, which has a total population or 3.3 million - making it the 16th largest metro area in the country. The metro area is named after the "Twin Cities" that form its core, but there are numerous other municipalities that contribute to the large metro population. But there is no denying that Minneapolis is the most influential and the focal point of this metropolis.

Minneapolis is nicknamed the "City of Lakes" because the city contains over 20 lakes and wetlands, as well as the Mississippi river, streams, waterfalls, and parks through which the water flows. The city`s name is a combination of the Dakota word for water, "mni", and the Greek word for city, "polis". The water city is aplty named.

The city is hot and humid in summer and cold and dry in winter. It experiences rain, snow, hail, sleet, and all kinds of precipitation.

St Louis Map

Check out the St Louis map pictures down below the text.

St. Louis is a major city in the U.S. state of Missouri, lying on its eastern border. It is the second largest city in Missouri, after Kansas City. But the metro area of St. Louis is much bigger than that of Kansas City. St.Louis proper has a population of 319,294 but its metro area, which partly spreads eastward into neighbouring Illinois, has a population of about 2.9 million, making it the 16th largest metropolitan area in the country.

St. Louis is approximately 49.2% African American. 43.9% Caucasian, 2.9% Asian, 3.5% Hispanic/Latino, 0.3% native American, and 2.4% multiracial. The city`s population peaked in 1950 at 857,000 and is actually much less populous now than it was then. This is due to migration to the suburbs and the establishment of bed communities in the nearby vicinity.

Orlando Florida Map

At the bottom of this post you can choose an Orlando map that suits your needs.

Orlando is located in the central region of the US state of Florida. It is most famous for being the located of Walt Disney Resort (aka Disney World). The city itself is not really that big, with a population of just 238,300. It is, however, the center of a much bigger metropolitan area with a population of 2,134,411. This metro area is the 27th largest in the USA, and the third largest in Florida.

Aside from Walt Disney Resort, other attractions include SeaWorld, Gatorland, Universal Orlando Resort (consisting of Universal Studios Florida as well as Islands of Adventure), and the Wet`n Wild Water Park. It is the kind of city that can keep tourists (especially family travellers) busy for a week or more of jam-packed days. I`ve been to Orlando with my family twice, and we loved it. Especially Disney World, which is the jewel in the crown of any visit to Orlando.

New Orleans Map

At the bottom of this page please check out the New Orleans map collection I have uploaded for you.

New Orleans is the largest city and metro area in the American state of Louisiana. The city itself is not gigantic, with a mere population of 343,829. The metro area is sizeable, with around 1.2 million people. This somewhat small size doesn`t do justice to the prominence and importance of New Orleans in the American psyche and culture. New Orleans is not only an important port city, it is also a cultural center known for its unique regional cuisine as well as being the birthplace of jazz music. It also holds annual festivities such as Mardi Gras, which draws crowds from around the country and around the world.

The climate of New Orleans is a humid subtropical climate, with short and mild winters, and long summers that get very hot and humid. Hurricanes affect the city greatly, especially because of its low elevation which makes it particularly vulnerable to flooding. We saw this, of course, during the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Miami Map

Down below be sure to check out the Miami map images for your convenience.

Miami is another one of those cities whose name can ignite the imagination by its mere mention. World famous for its beautiful climate and beaches, as well as its importance in the southeastern United States and its large Hispanic population (70%!), it is an important financial and commercial center. It has been measured to be the wealthiest city in the United States, and the 5th wealthiest in the entire world. It has also been called America`s cleanest city by Forbes magazine, thanks to its large numbers of parks, open green spaces, good air quality, clean streets, and extensive recycling activities. Downtown Miami is South Florida`s financial and business center, with a higher concentration of international banks than anywhere else in the country.

Despite Miami city`s prominence, it has a relatively small population of about 400,000. That is because most of Metro Miami`s population lives outside of the city itself. The population of the whole metro area is a mindblowing 5.5 million. Can you believe it? A city of 400,000 is the center of a metro area with over 5 million people.

Miami`s climate is a tropical monsoon climate with just two seasons: a hot humid summer, and a short, warm winter with significantly less precipitation. Though it would be a stretch to call the winter a dry season, since rainfall is plentiful year-round.


Here is a Metro Miami map, that includes the city and its suburbs.
