The Chesapeake bay shakes its claws in disgust

It's fairing a lot better than Michigan.

It's about sending a message.

They made Hawaii about the same size as the other 48 combined though. I guess that's something.

On the one hand, Mauna Loa is misspelled and misplaced. On the other hand, the big island is now the bigger-than-Texas island, and I enjoy that.

I'm torn. Alaska is about 100 times the size of Hawaii, so this seems about right. But also I like the thought of enormous Hawaii besides very big Alaska.

Relative to the lower 48, Hawaii looks huge!

Sort of? "It's a tiny section of our population" is a pretty legit reason to pay less attention, though.

Awesome, I've been looking for a higher rez version of this for years

That’s awesome. Considering that Alaska is an afterthought on most maps of the U.S., this seems only fair.

I'm surprised Hawaii isn't a lot bigger. Seems like those two states would team up on maps.

I'm fine with treating the lower 48 like this, but the Great Lakes did nothing to deserve their erasure!

On second look, realizing Texas got absolutely trashed by this map.

Hawaii being mas o menos the same size as the 48 is awesome.

They may have left out a thing or two.
