So, final coordinate verdict (so far):
Rockies:
Large: Rock Springs = low, Omaha = high
Small: Cody = low, Sioux Falls = low

After those are fixed, you get my honk ;)

.44

Thanks '44 for the second peek. Nice to get even the little things right before the map goes to play, because fixing things later can be a drag.

the.killing.44 checks coordinates = helping
everybody else HONKing without reading thread = annoying

New Jersy looks kinda pathetic. It should go more up and to the left above Newark instead of curving down. The top is actualy a stright line.

It is a direct copy of the shape of New Jersey from the USA map we currently have. All of the States are (except those that are not represented in the USA map).

You can still improve on it. You don't need to stay exactly to the origonal.

My initial (and continued) goal was to build these 6 maps and keep as much as I can from the original maps. The font, colors, shapes, legend, etc are all as close to the USA map as I can get. If you look at the other states on all maps, most of them are more artistic (no realistic) representations of the states shape. New Jersey is no exception.

WM, for the sake of comedic relief, can you put
"Do not use for navigation, not dishwasher safe"
at the bottom of them, please?

Nice work WM.

I must say, it would be pretty ironic if there was future support for a USA revamp considering the grief you took for sticking to the original map. But it all looks good and I think it is a great idea for tournaments and niche play!
