This is a very “political” map. Many of these routes are only in there so that every state is included. (Except South Dakota who complained about being left out!) A lot of parts, like the route from Minnesota west to Washington, only really make sense in that light. If this were closer to being a real proposal for what to build, I think the map would look a lot different. This is more like a symbol to hopefully kick off a discussion.
