Try this link. At this site there is a description of each diocese. I did not see a map , however. Click on North American and scroll down past Canada and Mexico. Good luck.

Just an FYI:

In probably over 90% of cases in the U.S., diocesan borders will follow some sort of clear existing boundary like county and state lines, rivers, etc.

 

[Cavaille-Coll]

In the United States, diocesan borders follow county lines and do not enter other states, with the exception of the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico, which extends into the Navajo Nation in Arizona. If your parish has a copy of the Catholic Directory by Kenedy, there is a fold-out map showing US and Canadian diocesan boundaries, as well as the groups of dioceses which make up each ecclesiastical province. For example, the state of Oregon is divided into two dioceses: the Archdiocese of Portland, and the Diocese of Baker. The dividing line is made from the county boundaries which follow the summit of the Cascade range, and confined by the state borders with California, Idaho, and Washington. The Portland Province, which includes Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, includes the Archdiocese of Portland (Oregon west of the Cascades), and the Dioceses of Baker (Oregon east of the Cascades), Boise (all of Idaho), Great Falls-Billings (northern and eastern Montana, with a co-cathedral in each city) and Helena (western and southwestern Montana).

there is a huge directory of all dioceses, parishes, schools and other Catholic institutions in the US, which most parishes have and there is a map in the middle with the borders of the dioceses. if you are on the fringes you would just have to ask at your parish which diocese you belong to. In our last home in Ohio we were in the extreme corner of one diocese, so all our neighboring parishes were actually in another diocese. I found out too late after I took catechist certification classes in the next parish, they were not honored in my own diocese.

What are the regions portrayed on this map?

According to the USCCB’s office of Home Missions…

CHEYENNE, WYOMING, the biggest geographic diocese in the continental United States. It covers the entire state of Wyoming, plus Yellowstone National Park.

 

[Cavaille-Coll]

Yes, the diocese of Cheyenne covers the territory of the park and extends into Idaho and Montana, but I don’t believe there are any parishes in those states which belong to the diocese. The parish in West Yellowstone, MT, belongs to the Diocese of Helena.
