Someone nailed Ohio already, NW,NE,SW,SE and Central.
Growing up in NW Ohio we always referred to Michigan as
Michigan (meaning all of southern Michigan)
Northern Michigan (from roughly Bay City north)
UP or Upper Michigan
I am actually very curious why South Carolina has changed the name of its hilly region from Upcountry to Upstate. I wonder if it has anything to do with Upstate NY?
In New York, the basic division is "Downstate", which is NYC, the suburbs just north of it, and Long Island, and "Upstate" which is everywhere else.
But because NY state is really big, Upstate is also has several areas of its own: The Capital Region, The North Country, The Southern Tier, The Finger Lakes, The Hudson Valley, and a few others.
Some more I can think of.

Manhattan aka "The City"

You have Louisiana that lies along I-10, north of that you have what we call "Arkansas"
