Much better to organize it by water systems, with some additional divisions for the Mississippi system ans consolidation of smaller systems not seperated by mountain ranges.

Ooo, I like this! Now I want to see a map where the area of each state is proportional to its population, but still fitting together in a recognizable way.
Since it’s not my country I vote for going diagonally
How about squiggles
Should’ve organized them alphabetically too

What, kind sir, is the source of this beautiful piece of mappery?
Seems to be this.
I found it with google image search for river map usa, but it was not from the original source, so I did not want to credit them.
No wonder it’s called the mighty Mississippi. It’s huge!
Some choices were definitely made here.
Delaware.
Where?
Delagone
Lol. California just became The State of Los Angeles
Ah yes Nevada, famous for its coast lines and the bay area
Uh oh. Looks like someone messed with Texas.
I moved from Pennsylvania back home to Minnesota a decade ago. Didn’t expect it to move back to me.
So the states get gradually smaller as you go north? Got it.
Yeah, I would have gone with straight lines, not these weird curved ones.
This somehow feels like a joke about map projections that would make its way into Futurama
That’s really high praise, thanks! Made my day.
Vermont’s huge now compared to before.
I see we’ve forgotten our non-contiguous siblings.
But more to the point, why not just arrange them alphabetically while we’re here?
Gerrymanderers hate this one trick…

You’re looking for a Cartogram!
Something like this!
Or this!
We are just gonna give South Carolina the outer banks? No. Redraw these lines, pls thnx
South Carolina is Worst Carolina and they deserve nothing but the highway that runs through the state so people can get out quickly.
IMO we can just delete it. No one will notice.
This hurts.
texas could honestly be a bit smaller. other states could make better use of that space
I’m not sure which state is furthest from it’s original position, but Indiana seems quite far from home.
Delaware is in the U.P.
Kentucky took a pretty big trip, but New Jersey is the funniest to me. At least it still gets an eastern coast.
Connecticut borders Alabama, but I guess it still has Massachusetts
