Michigan is one of the fifty states in the United States of America. It is the 11th largest state in the United States. It is made up of two peninsulas (connected by the Mackinac Bridge) - the only state to be so. It borders the U.S. states of Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, and Illinois. Its borders with Minnesota and Illinois are only by water. It also borders Canada by water. Michigan's total area (including areas of the Great Lakes) is 250,493 km2, while the land area is 150,504 km2. Since the map displayed here only displayes the land area (the water part are omitted), we use the land area number.
