Interesting Map of America

I chose a map of America that demonstrates a stereotypical view of how a non-American would define certain states. I went with this representation of America over a map displaying definite facts as I think society's view of America is an interesting topic. The map summarises states according to what they are generally most known for; for example, the state of Nevada is known as 'casinos' due to Las Vegas, Utah is 'Mormon', and New Jersey is 'Snooki'. I think these perceptions of America are interesting as it highlights what we, as outsiders, stereotypically think of America, and bestows the question as to why we categorise America in this way.
