Four regions would be tough.
I guess Iâd go with:
- Northeast - DC and all states northeast of it
- Great Lakes/Midwest whatever - The states that had an OG Big Ten school in it
- Pacific - Washington/Oregon/California/Hawaii
- Jesusland - Everything else

I grew up in Southwest PA and never heard a local suggest it was a part of the Midwest. I think we can safely draw the Eastern border of the Midwest at the OH/PA border.
Colorado has a sad.
How about Pittsburgh? I always considered it to be Midwest as well. Basically a mirror image of Cleveland.
So Arizona is Jesusland?
The rest of what you put is pretty close to the standard breakdown, except put everything west of Kansas in with Pacific, and call it âWestâ.
The West/Midwest line could probably move a little to the right, claiming parts of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas.
Texas could definitely be broken up into South on one side and West on the other.
Oklahoma is the ultimate tweener. Could be some Midwest, some West, some South.
If youâve ever been to the bootheel of Missouri, itâs the South.
I donât know shit about this area:
So Iâll defer to the thread.

Your map looks pretty good for exactly 4 regions, but the US clearly has more than 4.
Iâd maybe move Missouri to the south. But donât hate it.
On one hand, I feel bad because they donât deserve it and itâs only because I was forced into making only 4 regions.
On the other hand, a part of that state sent Lauren Boebert to the House of Representatives, soâŚ
And I think Focus on the Family is based in Colorado Springs.
Donât love it, but, much like Colorado, decisions have to be made if youâre holding me to 4 regions.
Regarding your map, I donât love putting Mormonville in the same region as the PNW and California.
But the biggest problem I have with your map is putting Maryland and Delaware in âThe Southâ. Yeah, I know where the Mason-Dixon line was. But that was a long time ago. They have much more in common with NYC than Mississippi.
Not if youâre NCAA basketball.
laying in bed in northeast ohio right now and itâs the midwest.
I grew up in Pittsburgh. We ainât Midwest ya jagoff.
OK, good for you. Have a nice day.
Delaware Dixie
Pittsburgh is the Paris of Appalachia
Basically I think Pittsburgh area is still hilly but if you go 30-40 miles west into Ohio it gets flat and thatâs where the Midwest begins

Midwest designation is relative and a lot of people are simply behind the time. Ohio used to be the âWestâ and became the Midwest with westward expansion. With the addition of Alaska and Hawaii in 1959, the Midwest moved to include Idaho and Montana. Ohio now part of New England imo.

Also âNewâ England has been around for 400 years now. Surely we should just call it England now.
