Also known as splitting Mormon-land from non Mormon-land. :)
(Note for the studio audience. prior to a year or so before the region
X/Xi split, old section 14 which contained today's section 10 (southern
Idaho) and section 13 Utah). This section made sense becuase of the
significant LDS population in the schools which gave some commonality of
situation)

The four largest states inthe Union have two of them entirely within one
section, Alaska & Montana (TX & CA are split). With the loss of MSU -
Billings, the situation has unfortunately gotten better in terms of
distance, but at high numbers I could see MT being separate from E WA/N
ID. Your distances end-to-end compare with some Regions!
