Cool. I think a couple of the city dots are off by just a little bit, but then again, that's going from my memory, too. Regardless, a fine effort once again!

Athens is further in land.... (general area is correct, but you have Athens where Marrietta is. ) Not like I actually care, it is awesome that you did that!

Ohio is not in Mid America and not in the midwest. To me Indiana to Nebraska is the line for the Midwest. Mid east maybe, but not midwest.
For some reason people often claim that Ohio is in the midwest. It irritates me. I ask, "midwest of what?" I agree, mideast is more accurate, or maybe Great Lakes region.
I never really thought about it, but the saying has been around longer than anyone that posts on this board. Not that is totally matters. But Ohio is, and it's gonna be that way for a while.
Mid-west is actually a term coined over two hundred years ago and was very applicable then. When the border of our country was the Mississippi, this was in fact the mid-west. As we spread westward, the term of mid-west went with it, but for some it was retained in the previously applicable states.

Thanks, I knew that. These sound awful - North Central States and the West North Central States - so I'll stick with advocating either Mideast (although that does refer to a particular part of the globe already) or Great Lakes (why should Ohio be grouped with the likes of the Dakota's and Kansas anyway?).
