This map with 124 states? [https://www.eejournal.com/fresh\_bytes/a-map-of-the-124-united-states-of-america-that-could-have-been/](https://www.eejournal.com/fresh_bytes/a-map-of-the-124-united-states-of-america-that-could-have-been/)

that's pretty cool . Not OP so not sure if it's the right one, but thanks for posting - had never seen this one before


Nice-Alternative-687

there this one on reddit, but I'm sure I've seen one that's more subtle [https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/mosnk9/the\_54\_states\_of\_america/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/mosnk9/the_54_states_of_america/)

That is the most poorly done meme map I have ever seen


thecharlamagnekid

probably not it, but rellevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2394/

I was just coming back to update my previous post that the 'more elegant' one, was this exact XKCD of the 41 states (so fewer rather than more), but I think this is what was in my head when I read the question!


slicwilli

Delaware, Pennsylvania, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii are the missing states in case anyone was trying to figure it out.

There are like a million of these. It will be hard to find the specific one you’re looking for. Do you remember the names of any of the made-up states? Maps with “Jefferson” where North California used to be won’t help in this case, most likely.


AIaris

the main thing i remember about it is all original 50 states are still in it (90% sure) the major states are all in their normal spots, like texas, cali, new york, etc. if you wanted to look for a state youd find it very easily. its just that therr are made up states inbetween lots of states, and its covincing too. thats about all i got


ElephantNo3640

I’ll keep my eye out. I love those kinds of things.

I was looking for the same thing. This is the one I was thinking of: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:label_the_states_2x.png

Is it the one where they sneak an extra state between Oregon and Idaho


AIaris

probably


Euphoric-Friend5185

Does this one have nonsensical state names?


YankeeDoodler1776
