Complete map The Mayan, Aztec, and Incan Empires (Student Page 131, answer 261)
First, let’s outline North, Central, and South America:
1. Outline the continent of North America (the part that is on your map) in blue. (Note: Stop outlining once
you reach the Mayan empire.) Underline the words “North America” in blue.
2. Outline the continent of South America in green. (Note: Stop outlining where the narrow strip of land
pinches off next to Central America.) Underline the words “South America” in green.
3. Outline the strip of land that connects the continents of North and South America in pink. We call this
land Central America. (Note: Don’t forget to include the edges of the Mayan empire!)
Now color the great American kingdoms:
4. Color the Aztec empire orange.
5. The capital of the Aztec empire was Tenochtitlan. Circle the city of Tenochtitlan in red.
6. Color the Mayan empire brown.
7. Color the Incan empire yellow.
8. The capital of the Incan empire was Cuzco. Circle the city of Cuzco in red.
