Cartography: The Ultimate Senatorial Test

Haven't picked your horse in the Massachusetts Senate special election yet? Not swayed by rhymes? Never fear, a new test is here: map-drawing.

In celebration of Geography Awareness Week (which is now coming to an end), National Geographic challenged senators to draw maps of the states they represent and point out at least three major locations therein. So far, only 11 states have risen to the challenge, and Massachusetts is not among them. New England is fairly represented, though: Susan Collins (R-ME) did a bang-up job with her state, drawing a detailed coastline and including locations from Bangor to Caribou, while Jack Reed (D-RI) gave Narragansett all the glory it deserves. Both senators did make the interesting choice of leaving state capitals off their maps--too easy, perhaps, or did they forget where the capitals are located?

In the national senatorial cartography race, James Risch (R-ID) gets the overachiever award for identifying more than 15 special spots in his state, none related to potatoes. And the rest of the west really needs to step up: not only did Risch whip up a fine map, but Michael Enzi (R-WY) made a very accurate rectangle. However, Enzi identified only national parks and monuments in his map--maybe Wyoming doesn't have any cities?

Which senate candidate can you see drawing the best map of Mass.? What are the three landmarks you would put on your map?
