Not sure if all the names are all that good, but the map itself is interesting to look at.

The names are pretty good and the configuration
is much more sensible than the division of voting
districts where I currently live.

Yeah, considering its actually a tiny town in Western Nebraska? Denver, Cheyenne, and several other cities are noticeably bigger that are in that area, and would make more sense.

A lot of names appear to be from geographical features, hence the Mt. Shasta and Mt. Rainer, and Tule and Salt Lakes out in the west, the Ozarks, Nodaway River Valley, and the Ogallala aquifer, and others I am missing.

Probably as in Ogallala aquifer?

oops. just read Andy's comment...

I remember seeing maps like this before, but much more skewed. They are always interesting.

A lot of issues would change if the states were more uniform, but I am not sure it would be better.

It's an interesting map, but these kinds of endeavors always remind me of the Great Powers' arbitrarily drawing borders for the Middle East and Africa.

Now why would they want to do a stupid thing like that? What do you take them for, Americans?
