i kept looking at this over and over again trying to figure out if i was supposed to be looking at the black on white or white on black

then i realized this is indeed white on black but UPSIDE DOWN
haha

nice map once you look at it that way

It took me a bit to figure it out, then I had to smile. Fun puzzle, clever idea.

HUGE pop on placing the last pixel. Could NOT for the life of me figure out the image even 95 % completed, but since it's a kristen puzzle, I knew it had to be great, satisfying and everything else we do these large puzzles for. Last pixel went in, and BOOM there it was, even before seeing the caption. I'm assuming McArthur's is an Australian company, mate?
And speaking of geographic extremes ... (I doubt anyone is even going to read this, cuz it's a new comment on an old puzzle, BUT ...) the easternmost point in the continental United States (mainland) is West(!) Quoddy Head, Maine. And also, the easternmost point in all of the US is in Alaska (because it crosses the international date line (or, more accurately, 180 degree longitude line, cuz the IDL jigs and jags a little bit), where far west becomes (very) far east! It's at the end of the Aleutian Island chain, and it lies just west of the westernmost point in the US.
And yes, there is an East Quoddy Head, and it is in fact east of West Quoddy Head, so why? Cuz it's in Canada!
Thanks for listening!

An Aussie, indeed! Jota linked to the actual map in comment #6. I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle, as I enjoyed your geography factoids! I do have a bit of a fondness for maps. :)

We read Bullet!

I don't know what "Bullet" means :)

For me, it's a nickname that goes all the way back to college. I tend to talk fast, and a roommate said, in a crowd, "Man, you faster than a speeding bullet - you're Bullet Bill." It stuck.

I didn't even notice that was your UserID!
