In my edition, Rhode Island is about 7 times the scale of New Mexico.
The straight line distance from the last New Orleans bridge to Pilottown a settlement beyond the end of the road, is about 75 miles. Pilottown is the residence of the pilots and their families, who must board every ship entering the Mississippi and steer it up the river. There is no road connecting Pilottown with the road on the opposite bank to Venice. The US Navy brought an aircraft carrier in to New Orleans once, and refused to let the civilian pilots on board. The steersman for the aircravt carrier, aho had no clue about rivers, knocked the Toulouse Street wharf up over the railroad tracks and onto the levee.
New Mexico is one inch to every 38 miles. Nevada also has this scale. However, there is one state that is even more.
Jtur, might need to help me phrase this question correctly:
What metro area is given the least respect by Rand McNally? I mean in terms of metro population, what city gets the smallest space alloted to it and its suburbs on its separate metro map?

I was thinking Hawaii but there is no scale in my 07 edition for the map that shows all the islands. There is a scale for the insets of Oahu and Maui, but the group as a whole might win the crown.

Excluding Hawaii, as well as Alaska. Wyoming, by the way, also is one inch for every 38 miles, so it is a three way tie for second place. One state is one inche for every 39 miles.

Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico all seem to be about 38-39 per inch. RMcN do not put grown-up cartographical data on their maps, like scale and latitude and longitude and projection type.
Off the top of my head, it seems that New Orleans has the worst city detail.
Going and checking, I see that alll of metro New Orleans gets less space than Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

NOLA is definitely underserved, I had noted that before. The whole state of LA is underserved with just one page.
I was thinking more of top 20 metro areas, but this is subjective, I know and sort of personal.
Metro Atlanta barely gets a quarter of a page while similar metros (DFW, Houston, Detroit) get full pages and several much smaller metros get significantly more space (Kansas City, Denver, Minneapolis ).
The metro Atlanta map barely covers the area inside the perimeter (I285) while the majority of the population is outside this area.
The scales of Idaho and Nevada are almost exactly the same. The sections of common boundary of the two is 101 mm on the ID map, 103 mm on the NV map, so Idaho is scrunched slightly (2%) more.
By interesting coincidence, the exact midpoint of a line from the S tip if NV to the N tip of ID is within 5 miles of the state line (on the Nevada side).
What is the largest, fresh water lake entirely inside the boundary of Europe?
