ELI5 Why Is the Western Region of the United States So Geometric?
Hello!!!
This might be a a stupid question, but: Why is the Western region of the United States so much more geometric than the Eastern region? The Eastern region seems to have more organic shapes compared to the West. Is this just how maps are drawn? The states in the East also seem to be built around landmarks, rivers and other geographic features, which don't seem as apparent as the borders drawn for the West. Of course, I imagine the borders aren't a perfect straight line in reality, but why do they look so much more geometric? Is there a reason for this?
