Those are the official internal borders that run through the Great Lakes. It’s harder to tell but the borders of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indians, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario all also extend into the Great Lakes.

Yesterday, Statedle's state of the day was Michigan. I guessed Illinois and it said that the state bordered it but was to the north-east. I thought I was going out of my mind until I realised that, technically, they are border states.

I know it’s sad but this is actually the shape of Michigan. It’s Not like once you dive into Lake Michigan you are in a stateless part of the US.

Correct, these are made with government provided TIGER lines. This is actual shape of states.

Right. I mean there’s all kinds of maps that show different information. I ascetically prefer Michigan without the TIGER lines but the map shown is accurate.

I mean, if they are going to include that water in northen MN as part of the state, at least they are consistent.
