How to Draw a South Carolina Map

12 steps · Medium · about 9 min

Draw a south carolina map in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the top edge.

Step 1: The top edge
Start at the top left. Draw a short line slanting up, then a straight line right. Stop at the middle.
Tip South Carolina is shaped a bit like a slice of pie.
Step 2: A small step
Carry on from there. Draw a tiny zigzag going down, like a small step. Stop just below the top edge.
Step 3: The flat part
Carry on from the step. Draw a straight line to the right. Stop three quarters of the way across.
Step 4: The long slant
Carry on from there. Draw a long straight line slanting down to the right. Stop at a point.
Tip Use a ruler if you like. This edge is perfectly straight.
Step 5: The sea coast
From the point, draw a wavy line slanting down to the left. Stop past halfway down.
Tip This side is the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
Step 6: More coast
Carry on from there, down to the left, with a bumpy line. Stop at a point at the very bottom.
Step 7: The river side
From the bottom point, wiggle a line up, leaning left. Stop about halfway up.
Tip One river makes this whole side, the Savannah.
Step 8: Close the map
Carry on up to the left corner. Then turn and slant up to the right to join the start.
Step 9: The capital star
In the middle of the state, draw a star for the capital city, Columbia.
Tip On a map, a star shows the capital city.
Step 10: A mountain
In the top left corner, draw a little triangle mountain.
Tip The Blue Ridge Mountains touch this corner of the state.
Step 11: Green land
Go over your lines. Colour all the land green, around the star and the mountain.
Step 12: Brown and red
Colour the mountain brown and the star red. Your map of South Carolina is done!
