I am pleased to present my findings from an original, controversial, geographical study exploring which U.S. states have the most uninteresting contours. I am a little concerned that I may be getting hate mail from both of the citizens of Wyoming, but my fidelity to the truth must know no borders. Here are my results:

The Top 15 Most Boring-Shaped U.S. States

Wyoming Colorado Kansas North Dakota South Dakota New Mexico Utah Montana Indiana Pennsylvania Connecticut Oregon Arizona Iowa Nebraska

Of course, these rankings are subjective, but this is my sense of what makes a state’s shape interesting; generally speaking:

The less rectangular the better.

The more contours the better.

The more unique the state’s appearance compared to other states the better.
