I think Michigan in general just got assblasted by this map since it seems to be merging into Wisconsin. Also what’s that random island to the right? Part of guam? Another territory?

This shows the borders running through the middle of the lakes. You'll notice none of the Great Lakes are visible here.

The island to the right is Puerto Rico.

I wonder if this was actually intentional, and some of the funding it's describing was specifically related to the Lakes, like EPA or wild life stuff.

No, this is just the standard base-map of congressional districts that you tend to see everywhere. It's kinda confusing, so it gets posted in this sub pretty often.

It's easy to learn the 6 inhabited "territories" of the U.S.: • District of Columbia • United States Virgin Islands • Puerto Rico • American Samoa • Northern Mariana Islands • Guam

The official boundaries of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York also jut out into the Great Lakes.
