More than two dozen impact craters have been verified in the United States. The largest of these is the 53-mile wide Chesapeake Bay Crater, which is located at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula. Although most of the crater is in the bay, part of the Hampton Roads Metro Area actually lies within this crater. The largest impact crater in the US completely on land is the Beaverhead Crater, south of Challis Idaho, which is 37 miles in diameter.
We refer to Texas as part of the Southwest, but if you look at it on a map, it looks more like it is south central. We're practically halfway between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Southwest is a cultural zone, not a geographical one, although to early settlers, everything west of the Mississippi was called the Northwest or the Southwest, from their perspective.

True, Minnesota was once considered the Northwest.

As was Ohio.
The American region officially known as Northwest Territory encompassed the area north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi, including the present states of Ohio and northeastern Minnesota. Most of Minnesota was beyond, further west than, the Northwest Territory.
