Without looking at a map - is the state with no straight border South Carolina? Also a correction - a piece of MN is slightly farther north than ME (which I’m sure also has an interesting story behind it!).

Most of undeveloped land will come under human pressure. But for the continentally US, which is a large, under populated country
