New Jersey is the fifth smallest state in the US, at 7, 354 sq mi (19,050 km²) but is the 11th most populous with over 9.6 million people. I think this map is the busiest one I have of any state!
Then there is Utah, with a population of around 3 million, it is the 11th least densely populated state within its 84,899 sq mi (219,887 km²)
If you're feeling peckish, how about Taiwan, which does an excellent job of promoting their foods
but, I really like this series that I call 'wallpaper maps'
This is my 2,000th published post in this site, and I decided to make the cards larger so you could actually see some of the details - and in the process lost some of the details. Still learning...

I like the naming of Apple Pie Hill in New Jersey and the shaped Taiwan which is also a 'busy' map but much more calming.
My island maps are here
It is funny to compare the map of New Jersey and Utah. Such different styles! I always find maps on postcards very entertaining. On the "busy" one I would spend a lot of time (plus, it has the lighthouses!), and same on the food one. I think getting the "wallpaper map" would be disappointing.
I uploaded a sort of map here.
May I ask why you have so many maps of Taiwan?
I forgot... congratulations on the 2,000th post!
Wow, that's a lot of posts! Congratulations!
I'll ask too, why so many from Taiwan?

I don't know why, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the first map of your blog was the title sequence of Bonanza, the one where a map would beging to catch fire, which I used to watch as a very young bloke....
I also had a lot of trouble finding an entry on my blog to participate, but I eventually succeeded :-). You can find it here
Oh, and Congratulations on your 2000th post!
It seems Taiwan loves to put a map of their country on postcards, and as it is the 6th most popular country I've gotten cards from, I have a lot of them.
