The US has some untidy and diffuse features. Some of those untidy and diffuse features are important to those who live around them, earn their livings by them, or recreate in them. Don't demand that we refrain from mapping them because they fail to conform with your mental model of the world as it ought to be. It comes across as saying, "My model is fine, fix your country!" I can't fix it, in any reasonable timeframe at least. I'm constrained to mapping the country I have. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
