Leander Stillwell was typical of thousands of Northern boys who answered President Lincoln’s call for volunteers. In January 1862, only a few months past his 18th birthday, and only after he and his father had sowed the wheat, gathered the corn and cut the winter firewood, Stillwell left his family’s log cabin in the Jersey County backwoods of western Illinois and enlisted in Company D of the 61st Illinois Infantry Regiment. For three and a half years he served in the Western theater of operations as a noncommissioned officer before being mustered out as a lieutenant in September 1865. His first—and biggest—battle, Shiloh, was the one he remembered most vividly. He also took part in skirmishes in Tennessee and Arkansas, as well as the Siege of Vicksburg. In The Story of a Common Soldier Stillwell tells of his Army experiences, as critic H. L. Mencken observed admiringly in a review, “in plain, straightforward American, naked and unashamed, without any of the customary strutting and bawling.” Small for his age and given to taking solitary walks in the woods beyond the picket lines, Stillwell was nevertheless an enthusiastic and obedient soldier. “Just a little mortifying,” was Stillwell’s reaction when his regiment missed two battles because it had been left to guard a town in Tennessee. But, he hastened to add, “the common soldier can only obey orders, and stay where he is put, and doubtless it was all for the best.”

Mastering the map has never been more visual! This set of 20 professional nomenclature cards is the perfect foundational tool for any U.S. geography unit. Based on the 4 regions as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West), these cards provide a clear, structured way for students to visualize how the United States is organized.
From full-color coded keys to black-and-white standalone regional maps, this versatile set helps students transition from “the big picture” to specific regional details with ease.
🧠 The “How” and “Why” (Educational Benefits)
Why use nomenclature cards for geography? It’s all about spatial recognition and scaffolded learning:
- Visual Discrimination: By seeing a region highlighted in color against a grayscale map of the whole U.S., students naturally learn exactly where that region sits in relation to the rest of the country. 📍
- Scaffolded Difficulty: Start with the cards that include state names for guided learning, then transition to the name-free cards to challenge their memory. 🎓
- Standards-Aligned: Because these follow the U.S. Census Bureau divisions, you can be confident your students are learning the most widely accepted geographic classifications used in social studies. ✅
- Versatility: The mix of color and black-and-white versions allows for high-impact visual aids or budget-friendly, student-ready worksheets.
🛠️ Ways to Use These
- Geography Centers: Laminate the color cards and use them as a “match the region” game or sorting activity. 🧩
- Interactive Notebooks: Print the black-and-white versions for students to color in, label, and glue into their social studies journals. 📓
- Flashcard Drills: Use the cards to quiz students on state locations within specific regions (e.g., “Which states are in the Midwest?”). ⚡
- Display: Create a stunning “Geography Wall” using the full-color coded keys as a reference point for students during independent work. 🖼️
