Question

Which american states do not have any of their boundaries on water?

Answer 1

many states are divided along rivers are rivers included in the count????

Answer 2

TOO MANY TO LIST AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE RIVERS. START WITH SOUTH AND NORTH DAKOTA WYOMING NEBRASKA, KANSAS OKLAHOMA AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

Answer 3

Many, look at a map.  

Colorado, Wyoming, Utah are just three.

Answer 4

Actually, not all that many.  Most states have a body of water (ocean, river, lake, etc.) forming at least part of their boundaries.  The only states with no boundaries formed by water are:

Montana

Wyoming

Colorado

Utah

New Mexico comes pretty close, but a little piece of its border with Texas is on the Rio Grande River.  (EDIT - added a little more.)  Nevada also comes close, but the majority of its border with Arizona is formed by the Colorado River.  Hope that helps!

EDIT - for BR Tiger:  I'm originally from Montana, and I can tell you that its jagged western border is **not** on a river.  It was supposed to be the Continental Divide, but for part of the way the surveyors followed the wrong mountain range.

Answer 5

If you include rivers as a boundary on water, the only ones that fit your criteria are:

New Mexico

Colorado

Wyoming

Utah

Nevada

edit - Navigator is right about Nevada & New Mexico, but Montana also has a border on a river.  So it looks like it's only:

Colorado, Wyoming  and Utah.

Very good question.
