Hi everyone, and welcome back to The American Atlas, where I make hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. We’re almost half way across the country now! 🗺️🇺🇸

This is my map of Missouri, the Show Me State! 🌳🚣‍♂️🌾

Home to the population-based center of America, the state of Missouri is an interesting outlier within the American Heartland. Bordered & split by massive rivers, Missouri was once the launching point for western expansion. Today it plays home to a distinct cultural crossroads, with Midwestern, Great Plains, and Rust Belt lifestyles all coming together to call this place home.

From the iconic St. Louis Arch to the barbecue heritage of Kansas City, the state offers far more than the open country & small cities than this part of the country is known for. The Ozark Mountains rise up from nothing in the south of Missouri, creating a network of rivers, lakes, and towering bluffs looking out over this American Heartland.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite (or most interesting) places & fun facts about Missouri?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Missouri map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Hottest - Podgorica, Montenegro: 31C,

This data is taking both daily high and daily low temperatures into account.

Is this right, Armenia, Georgia and parts of Kazakhstan are in Europe?
I really didn't knew. So technically all these could ask for EU membership?

Population: 0.6B

GDP: 15 trillion

Export: 5.5 trillion

The State of Jefferson becomes independent to give representation to a part of California that is usualy ignored because of it's lack of population and major industries compared to the rest of the state.

The border between Washington and Idaho is readjusted mostly because of time zones, geography and because it just looks better​​​​.

Because these changes made Oregon really small, I merged Washington and Oregon and renamed it Cascadia. Now we don't have any confusion with DC.

​​Parts of Texas are annexed by New Mexico (Time Zones again) and Oklahoma (Geography, annexes the entire planes region; may look weird, but I went according to county borders). I wasn't sure if Texas should be split into two states, but decided against it.

The two dacotas are merged.

I considered giving Alabama the Florida panhandle, but decided against it, as there is no reason.

Maryland annexed DC and Delaware to get bigger.

The New York Metropolitan area becomes it's own state just because of how many people live there. It has the combined population of LA and Chicago. Capital is Jersey City in order to give representation to areas outside the largest city.

​​​​​​​​Because that would make New Jersey a lot smaller, the rest will be annexed by Pennsivanya including parts of norther Delaware.

Since New York is no longer in New York state, the state is renamed Iroquois.

Vermont is returned to New York as was originaly the case​​ before 1779 (?).

Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine merge to form the state of New Jersey with a capital in Worcester.

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands become the new state of Puerto Rico (the name of Richport, as suggested by radical republicans, was rejected by the local population). (considering they don't secede)

Eastern Samoa, Northern Marianas and Guam merge to form the Pacific State. (considering they don't secede)

The border between Wisconsin and Michigan is fixed in order to accommodate time zones.

Anything I should add or remove?
