    I saw someone also mention “waterways” in another thread as being subject to this. If that means navigable rivers like the Mississippi, etc., then between coasts, land borders, airports, and waterways, it’s probably most of the US.

      That existing map is already probably 90+% of the population. But yeah, including those would get it to be most of the last mass too.

        The article with that map claims 2/3 of the population. I think it could go to 90% if you included waterways and international airports.
