I do real estate, so I like maps. Boundaries have some delicious anomalies. For instance, there is the notch of Massachusetts into Connecticut. Rhode Island and Connecticut don't align perfectly. Kentucky has an orphan on its West end. Florida's panhandle got cut off--it originally went all the way to the Mississippi. There is a notch in the Northeastern corner of New Mexico. And we won't even discuss Michigan.
How did this all happen? I know some answers (Michigan) but would welcome others. I would also be curious as to whether others have favorite anomalies. I have focussed on the US (for which there are many more), but I would welcome candidates from anywhere.
