This is satirical, as I know that these are stereotypes and they aren't true (so please don't take offense if you live in Appalachia or the South!) But this is how people view the U.S. in terms of regions in my opinion.
Riverland is not a single region at all. St. Louis and Cincinnati share nothing in common with Louisville other than being on a river.
Western Kentucky, most of Missouri, southern Illinois, southern Indiana, and southwest Ohio are very difficult to categorize. I think I just drew lines and hoped for the best. It's not obvious from this thumbnail, but I drew the Deep South border along the Kentucky/Tennessee and Missouri/Arkansas borders, so southern Missouri and western Kentucky aren't really in any region.

Most of Missouri, are you kidding me? If you have trouble including the Northern half of Missouri in the corn belt, you clearly haven't been there. THe Deep South border is WAY too far north. Tennessee and Kentucky and Arkansas are in the Upper South. The Southern half of Missouri I agree is harder to categorize, it's a no man's land, but no more so than Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana. Southwestern Ohio is Midwestern, and most sources include Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana, and Southern Missouri there too. They are not the same region as Kentucky..most of Kentucky is pretty easy to classify as Southern except north of Lexington. Between Highway 50 and Highway 60 is the border region of the United States except in the case of Virginia.
"Sequoias" should be "Redwoods" and should be the coastal area of Cali that is marked as "Mountain Views." The area marked as "Sequoias" should be something like "wine" or "hippies and wine" or something like that. The "Hippies" part of Oregon should go further south more, but not all the way.
Pretty good overall though. "Shoes" region I didn't get at first, but now... I do... Awesome. I'd love to see Hawaii and Alaska on here and maybe even the territories, ha.
