Why Georgia Looks the Way It Does
Georgia's colonial charter was the most extravagant claim on the map: in 1732, the trustees were granted land from the Savannah River "westward as far as the south seas" — the Pacific. Reality trimmed the claim in stages: the 1783 Treaty of Paris, the 1802 compact with the federal government, and finally the surveyor's line at the 35th parallel fixed the top edge where it runs today.
That 35th-parallel line carries Georgia's longest-running grudge. When the border was surveyed in the 1810s-1820s, the line was run south of the Tennessee River — either by error or, as Georgia insists, by design — cutting the state off from the river and the water Atlanta has wanted ever since. The dispute still surfaces in drought years, when Georgia legislators re-litigate a border drawn two centuries ago.
The rivers hold the rest together: the Savannah — the colonial highway between the two Carolinas and Georgia — draws the east, the Chattahoochee the west, both borders following channels fixed in the early republic. Georgia's outline is the original southern colony at its final size: a big rectangle-ish block, two rivers for bookends, and a coastline too short for its harbor ambitions.

What is "Drawing Georgia Outline from Memory"?
Drawing Georgia from memory means sketching the Peach State's border on a blank canvas without looking at a map. Focus on the state's distinctive features and overall proportions — that's what pushes your accuracy score up.
Georgia became a state in 1788 and is rated ★★★ out of 4 for drawing difficulty — a trickier outline with more detail to remember. When you hit Reveal, your sketch is scored 0–100 against the real border, so every attempt teaches you something about the outline.
Georgia is a broad block tilted slightly west: the Savannah River saws down the entire eastern side against South Carolina, the 35th parallel runs straight across the top, the Chattahoochee River and a short straight line form the west against Alabama, and the southern border is the straight 31st parallel against Florida.
How to Draw Georgia from Memory
Step 01
Sketch the frame first: a wide, nearly rectangular block, wider than tall. Three of the edges — top (35°), west, and south (31°) — are straight survey lines, so lay them down as clean horizontals and verticals.
Step 02
The east edge is the Savannah River: a long series of loops sawing down from the mountains to the coast. At the bottom-right it opens into Georgia's short, scalloped Atlantic shoreline — the smallest coastline in the Southeast.
Step 03
Add the west details: the Chattahoochee River runs the upper half of the western edge before a straight line takes over. And at the top-center, note the small notch of missed water — the 35° line was surveyed just south of the Tennessee River, leaving Georgia cut off from a river its colonial charter claimed.
A broad, slightly tilted block: the Savannah River sawing down the right side, a straight 35th-parallel line across the top, straight lines west and south — with a tiny coast and an unclaimed water gap at the top.
How Georgia Is Scored
When you hit Reveal & compare, your sketch is measured against Georgia's real border, point by point, in the same canvas space. Three numbers come back:
Matched — the share of the real border your drawing covered. 100% means you traced every part of the outline.
Extra — how much of your drawing fell outside the true border. This catches sketches that are too big, mispositioned, or drifting off.
Missed — the border you didn't reach, the flip side of Matched.
The three combine into a single 0–100 accuracy score. The rating names give you a target: 80+ is Cartographer, 60+ is Border patrol, 40+ is Getting there, and below 40 is Try again.
Drawing large and roughly centered is the single fastest way to raise your score — a small sketch tucked in a corner overlaps less of the true border, so it scores lower. For Georgia, keep the whole outline in frame and let the distinctive parts do the work.

- How is my Georgia drawing scored?
- Your sketch is compared with Georgia's real border, point by point, in the same canvas space. Matched is the share of the border you covered, Extra is how much of your drawing fell outside it, and Missed is the border you didn't reach. The three combine into a single 0–100 accuracy score.
- Can I draw Georgia on mobile?
- Yes — Georgia works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Draw with your finger on touchscreens; no app download is required and it runs directly in your browser.
