Are the puzzle pieces individual states, except for some of the small new england states? Too many of the states puzzles have puzzle pieces with no relationship to the states.

The puzzle pieces are each individual state. The New England states are a little confusing because they are separate state pieces but not marked on the actual piece, they are labeled on the board. (So for example you have one of the smaller states like Vermont and it is just this little green piece with an arrow to the side of the map that says Vermont. ) All the larger states are labeled and include a picture of something signature from that state. Also, when a piece is lifted it reveals the capital of that state on the board beneath. Also, on the very back of the puzzle the states are listed alphabetically with each state bird, capital, population, size of the state, flower and motto. Hope this helps! :)

Where is puzzle made is it lead free

It does not say on the puzzle itself, so I looked it up for you on their website (MelissaAndDoug.com). It's item "USA Map Jigsaw Puzzle #3797." They list all of their product info on their site. Amazing. It says made in Jiangsu/China and certifies "We, Melissa & Doug LLC, declare that the above designated product is in conformitywith the following CPSC product safety regulation, as applicable:􀂉 CPSIA 101/16 CFR 1303 Lead in Paint & Surface Coatings􀂉 CPSIA 101- Lead in Substrate of Children's Products􀂉 16 CFR 1500.19 - CPSA Labeling (small parts, etc)􀂉 CPSIA 106 - ASTM F963-11 Toy Safety Specification􀂉 CPSIA 108 - Phthalates in Children's Products􀂉 16 CFR 1500.44 - Flammability􀂉 16 CFR 1500.48 & .49 - Sharp points/Edges􀂉 16 CFR Part 1501 Small PartsThe site lists the test date as 08/13 and even has the name/contact info of the person holding the test records. The map also has a label on the back that says it is "California 93120 compliant for formaldehyde, phase 2"I hope that helps!

does it have a wooden backing

It does have a wooden backing with the name of the states and details associated with each state (ie//Capital, population, Size, Flower, Bird and Motto). The only thing to be aware of, as some other reviewers pointed out, is that some of the smaller states don't have a designated piece or even a piece with a name on it. For example, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, etc...those types of states have the state names on the actual puzzle board but the piece is almost a filler. That being said, I have yet to see US puzzle that has designated pieces for those smaller states.
