MaxtDesign US Maps
·
Fast, accessible, zero-footprint interactive vector maps. Build clickable US state and federal-region maps and drop them anywhere.
MaxtDesign US Maps renders clickable, fully customizable vector maps with a near-zero front-end footprint: inline SVG, one small deferred script, no jQuery, no web fonts, and no external requests.
Features:
- Two built-in maps: US States (50 + DC) and US Federal Regions (10).
- Customize every area: up / hover / active colors, link, target, tooltip content, enable/disable.
- Global appearance: border, names, lakes, and territory toggles (Alaska, Hawaii, DC, callouts).
- Visual click-to-edit admin built on the WordPress block components.
- Unlimited maps per site. Insert with the MaxtDesign Map block or the
[md_usmaps id="123"]shortcode. - Accessible by design: keyboard operable, screen-reader labelled, WCAG 2.2 AA oriented, with a no-JavaScript fallback.
- One-click import from the legacy « US Map » and « US Regional Map » plugins.
Performance
Hover and active colors are pure CSS, so the map is correct on first paint with no JavaScript. The script loads only on pages that actually display a map.
Upgrade to Pro
Need more than states and regions? US Maps Pro builds on this free engine and adds:
- Drill-down / zoom — click a state to open its counties, or a country to open its regions, loaded on demand.
- Premium map packs — every US county, world countries, and US territories.
- Native lightbox — open rich content for any area in an accessible modal.
- Area grouping — combine areas into one unit that shares a colour, link, and tooltip.
- Document attachments — attach Media Library files to an area; they render as download chips in the tooltip and lightbox.
- Automatic updates — delivered straight to your site, licensed and signed.
The free plugin is fully functional on its own; Pro is an optional add-on. Learn more and get Pro: https://maxtdesign.com/plugins/us-maps
