Answer:

To solve this map - labeling problem, we need to match each geographical feature with its corresponding location on the North America map by using our knowledge of North American geography:

1. Long Island

Long Island is located off the east coast of the United States, near New York. Looking at the map, the letter \( H \) is in a position that corresponds to Long Island. So, Long Island - \( H \).

2. Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf of Mexico is located to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico. On the map, the letter \( F \) is in the area that represents the Gulf of Mexico. So, Gulf of Mexico - \( F \).

3. Ohio River

The Ohio River flows through the eastern part of the United States. The letter \( I \) on the map is in a position consistent with the location of the Ohio River. So, Ohio River - \( I \).

4. Atlantic Coastal Plain

The Atlantic Coastal Plain runs along the east coast of the United States. The letter \( L \) on the map is in the region of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. So, Atlantic Coastal Plain - \( L \).

5. Appalachian Mountains

The Appalachian Mountains are in the eastern part of North America, running along the east coast of the United States. The letter \( B \) on the map is in the area of the Appalachian Mountains. So, Appalachian Mountains - \( B \).

6. Great Plains

The Great Plains are in the central part of North America, stretching across the United States and Canada. The letter \( K \) on the map is in the region of the Great Plains. So, Great Plains - \( K \).

7. Hudson River

The Hudson River is in New York, in the northeastern part of the United States. The letter \( C \) on the map is in the position of the Hudson River. So, Hudson River - \( C \).

8. Rocky Mountains

The Rocky Mountains are in the western part of North America, running along the western United States and Canada. The letter \( J \) on the map is in the area of the Rocky Mountains. So, Rocky Mountains - \( J \).

9. Alaska

Alaska is in the far - northwest of North America. The letter \( M \) on the map is in the position of Alaska. So, Alaska - \( M \).

10. Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean is to the east of North America. The letter \( Q \) on the map is in the area of the Atlantic Ocean. So, Atlantic Ocean - \( Q \).

11. Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is to the west of North America. The letter \( G \) on the map is in the region of the Pacific Ocean. So, Pacific Ocean - \( G \).

12. Hawaii

Hawaii is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, far from the North American mainland. The letter \( P \) on the map (in the inset) is in the position of Hawaii. So, Hawaii - \( P \).

13. Great Lakes

The Great Lakes are in the northern part of the United States and the southern part of Canada. The letter \( A \) on the map is in the area of the Great Lakes. So, Great Lakes - \( A \).

14. Mississippi River

The Mississippi River flows through the central part of the United States, from north to south. The letter \( R \) on the map is in the position of the Mississippi River. So, Mississippi River - \( R \).

15. Canada

Canada is the large country in the northern part of North America. The letter \( N \) on the map is in the area of Canada. So, Canada - \( N \).

16. Mexico

Mexico is in the southern part of North America, below the United States. The letter \( O \) on the map is in the position of Mexico. So, Mexico - \( O \).

Final Answers (in the order of the list):

Long Island: \( H \)
Gulf of Mexico: \( F \)
Ohio River: \( I \)
Atlantic Coastal Plain: \( L \)
Appalachian Mountains: \( B \)
Great Plains: \( K \)
Hudson River: \( C \)
Rocky Mountains: \( J \)
Alaska: \( M \)
Atlantic Ocean: \( Q \)
Pacific Ocean: \( G \)
Hawaii: \( P \)
Great Lakes: \( A \)
Mississippi River: \( R \)
Canada: \( N \)
Mexico: \( O \)
