WINNER - KURT! Claim your prize . . . More of these puzzles or not - What say you, Kurt?
#3: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 24, 2013
go for it.... got 48 more to choose from. mix in puerto rico and american samoa too :)
#4: Dave Oas (khpdave) on Mar 24, 2013
Looks like Kurt has withdrawn his answer (which was even spelled correctly), so the field is open.
#5: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Mar 24, 2013
ah, it's nice to let others have a crack at it too
#6: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 24, 2013
I already got one, so I'll leave this for someone else. But I agree with Kurt in #3.
#7: Dave Oas (khpdave) on Mar 24, 2013
@3 & 6 There's some states (like my state of Kansas) that cannot be made interesting. I'd be likely to skip over those, Kurt and Norma.

check out puzzle #20538, Dave. (I attempted to make your state interesting...)
#10: Dave Oas (khpdave) on Mar 24, 2013
@8 Ok, Billie what's YOUR vote?
@9 I'll check it out Kurt.

As a cartographer, these are easy for me to answer once I solve them, but I say you can never have too many maps, so go for it, Dave!

Amerigo Furface, the flautist! lol
#14: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Mar 24, 2013
You were right, Kurt. I have NO idea. Oh wait, I was there yesterday.
#15: Dave Oas (khpdave) on Mar 24, 2013
Thanks Joel - I guess I will then. Thomas - HONORABLE MENTION!

Just as an FYI, see puzzles # 20281, 20282, 20294... which were part of a series by another creator.

Thanks Adam - I missed all of these for some reason. Craig's creations have much better detail than mine - especially when you compare our Idahos (20294 vs 21435).

My idea was to create an easy series of monochrome U.S. state puzzles-with capitals, making them as small as possible (no bigger than 20x), even at the expense of sacrificing some detail.

I was concerned that someone had already done something like this so I searched the word "state" and the state's name and it looked like virgin territory. I decided to put a couple out there in the hope that, if this had already been done, someone (and by someone, I was counting on you) to let me know. I think I'll do a few more (not Missouri or W.Virgina) but I'm not going for a complete series.

I really do appreciate your ability to keep all these puzzles in mind, Adam.

Red Stick in Pelican State. Thanks
#19: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on May 5, 2017
Agree #18. Baton Rouge, Louisana. I think this puzzle is a very good "map" of the state in a 20 x 20.
#20: Dave Oas (khpdave) on May 10, 2017
Thanks Dan & Susan!
