A Map Challenge

Remember those U.S. map puzzles when you were a kid? How well do you know the map of the U.S. now?

Try this Map Challenge.

I surprised myself by scoring 82% with an average error of only 35 miles. I mean, you try placing Indiana on an utterly blank U.S. map and see how close you get. (At least the states are identified for you. I’m not sure I could tell Colorado from Wyoming otherwise.) I’m pretty good with the Southeast and the Midwest, the states along the Ohio and Mississippi. The Southwest is easy. It’s the plains and all the fiddly bits of New England that throw me.

It took me just under 12 minutes to do the test. I found the link at Political Wire.
