Map Critique

Nice color & balance. Lots of info but still a clean map of the North Carolina coast on top.

Less water & smaller scale and the inset wouldn't be needed in the map of Malta. The inset blends into the overall map making me think at first it's all one map.

Mental Map

Red for Florida because that's where I am most comfortable.
Orange for New York because that's where I grew up and if I could handle the cold better I'd still be there
Green for California because if I could afford to live there it would be closer to my wife's home and cheaper to visit her family.
