So... https://sos.maryland.gov/mdkids/Pages/Geography.aspx https://sos.maryland.gov/mdkids/Pages/Geography.aspx > Maryland is about 250 miles long and 100 miles wide. 30 miles is a pretty normal commute for people who work in Chicago but live in the suburbs. Not the whole width Maryland but we do have many smaller states too.
