A visual representation depicting the various license plate designs issued by the individual states, districts, and territories within the United States. These maps typically utilize color-coding or labeling to correlate specific designs with their respective issuing jurisdiction.

Such geographic arrangements offer several advantages. They provide collectors and enthusiasts with a quick reference guide for identifying license plates from different regions. Historically, these visual aids have been valuable tools for studying trends in plate design, materials used, and the evolution of numbering systems. They also aid in understanding the regional differences reflected in the slogans, images, and colors chosen by each state. Furthermore, they are frequently used in educational settings to enhance geographic and state identification knowledge.
