When i was in school, there was a web game that we were allowed to play where you had a blank map of the US and had to drag the states to the right spot. The states did not snap into place.
It was jarring how many students couldn't even get the states surrounding us right, and I'm in Texas. Like, I didn't get it 100% right because New England is a bitch, but I could get over 90%.
I think I played that same game back in the day. And yeah, when you have the context added by building out from the distinctly shaped border states, it's fairly easy to get almost all of them, but I don't expect the average American to be sure if they're looking at Indiana or Illinois based on nothing but the shape of its outline.
