Awesome thread. I've been looking for that Australian overlay for years.
SOME STATES THAT GET THEIR BORDER FUDGED BY CARELESS CARTOGRAPHERS:
ALASKA - Aluetian Islands are frequently left off and misspelled. ARKANSAS - Has two indentions: One in the northeast corner and one in the southwest. DELAWARE - Is this really a state? FLORIDA - That little part that juts up into Georgia a bit. GEORGIA - See above HAWAII - Oahu and three other little circles does not make a map of Hawaii. IOWA - Has a sizable bulge on the eastern side. MISSOURI - don't forget the boot heel!

MINNESOTA - That little tic of a state park that you can only get to via Canada. NEVADA - Has six sides, not four. NEW MEXICO - The panhandle down near El Paso. NEW YORK - Long Island, surprisingly enough. It's like the Tasmania of the Empire State. SOUTH DAKOTA - Not a perfect rectangle, thanks to the Missouri River. WEST VIRGINIA - Wheeling is not in Ohio. WISCONSIN - Does not have an upper peninsula.

"In most US counties, Florence usually refers to Florence (Italy)."
Ha! I was talking to a travel agent last night about flying into Rome and asked if Florence was easier and he said "Well there are a lot of Florences"

I have been to Florence, Oregon and it has the advantage of actually being named Florence.
As opposed to the one in Italy.

Level 129, although tbh I'm not sure of the difference between "Visited Here" and "Stayed Here." There are only a handful of states I haven't at least passed through, mainly West Virginia and most of New England.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:08 (eight months ago) link
i interpret “stayed” as stayed with friends or family and “visited” like you stayed there but you were a tourist in an airbnb or a hotel
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:14 (eight months ago) link
Yeah, that was pretty much how I applied it, although if it was like one night crashing with friends I usually put "visited." I camped in NC one night, put "visited."

The whole "visited here / stayed here" thing threw me off too. I "stayed" in a motel room in Ohio once before continuing the drive into Kentucky the next day while I have "visited" Georgia, spending most of a day touring the Coca-Cola and Carter museums in Atlanta. Should Ohio be worth more points? I finally decided no.
Poor Maryland and Delaware the only states where I don't think my feet ever touched the ground. They're very easy to drive through.
I really need to hit the Northwest sometime.

...on second thought, and with even more honesty, i spent 30 seconds overlaying a google map of the US onto the maze, and perhaps the gateway arch is located in the entrance/exit to the right, so perhaps you do need to pass through the gateway arch in this maze. it's difficult to tell because lake michigan was destroyed in the giant usa maze disaster of 2023
