Yup that one looks more correct.

Here's an interesting one, of the "Closest P5 stadium to every county in the USA."






The largest counties by land area are typically the least populated. So looking at the top 10 Counties by that criteria...

UCLA has two of the top three in their "zone" (based on geographic proximity) with #1 San Bernardino CA, #3 Nye NV, and #9 Inyo CA. 

The Utes get #4 Elko NV, #7 Lincoln NV and #8 Sweetwater, WY

The Sun Devils get #2 Coconino AZ, #5 Mojave AZ, and #6 Apache AZ, as well as just outside of the top ten #11 Navajo AZ (the 4 along the northern border of their state).

Here are the 10 states with the highest population density:


The only SEC state to crack the top ten is Florida at 8. Next is Georgia at 17, which is beneath Indiana and Illinois (and also below NC and VA).

Georgia has 159 counties.  They tend to be smallish.

San Bernardino County is absolutely gigantic.

It actually has high population, too... 2.18M according to the wiki.

Average population density would be low... But very lumpy. Most of those 2.18M live in a tiny corner of the county where it's near LA.

FtR the population density rankings were statewide, not by county.

Understood...

I was responding more to the prior post about the largest counties by land area often being the least populated. That's usually true, but San Bernardino as a county would slot in at 37th in the US between Kansas at 2.9M and New Mexico at 2.1M if it were a state.

That said, SB county IS incredibly sparsely populated for the bulk of its land area, so in one way your statement still holds regarding largest counties and population density. 

It's a county that both proves and disproves the rule lol...

I'm surprised that the densely populated corner hasn't withdrawn in order to form a new county.

They don't need to. They have almost the entire population of the county so they'll make gov't decisions based on the needs of that tiny densely populated corner. They can [and do] ignore the sparsely populated area. 

It's probably all the folks out in the rest of it that want to secede, much like the State of Jefferson folks up in extreme northern California / southern Oregon.

Every county that borders Clark Co NV (Las Vegas) ranks in the top 10 Nationally by land mass. 

  • #1 San Bernardino CA
  • #3 Nye NV
  • #5 Mojave AZ
  • #7 Lincoln NV
  • #9 Inyo CA


Now THAT is some serious isolation.

Here's an updated fan map... allegedly.



This map is from Reddit users, specifically users from the sub reddit of College Football. They use it for an interesting game of "Capture the Territory" If you beat a team that has any counties, you win those counties. It's kind of fun to watch it update through out the season.

I actually knew this only because years ago when driving from Vegas to LA I was shocked at the NV/CA line to see a sign for San Bernardino County.

On a similar, albeit literally smaller note, I lost the speeding ticket I got driving down the west side of Lake Okeechobee in FL.  I eventually find out that it was a Palm Beach County ticket.  
I was a little surprised.

Entering Texas from Louisiana on I-10, in the town of Orange, Texas, there's a sign with mileage to El Paso, which is also on I-10.
