the most majority is made in China, also in 9/11 some small factories closed here to open in China and Centro America, I think these happen because the factory owners is no Americans.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but... Known as "The Old Line State" and as part of the "Mason-Dixon Line", (because it was a Confederate state during the Civil War) Maryland has often been referred to as "Little America". There are mountains for hunting and skiing, ocean beaches for boating and swimming. Marshlands, rivers, creeks and streams. There's the Chesapeake Bay which was once known as a "natural protein factory" due to the abundance of fish, birds, crabs, oysters, etc. But if I've got that wrong, you could also check this web site http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/localSearch.php?searchStr=&parseMethod=phrase&state=21&submit=Search

CB provides a great chart. Clearly, though, the high number for Michigan (and Wisconsin, for that matter) is due to the portion of the bordering Great Lakes which officially fall within the state's borders. The Great Lakes, for the most part, are split down the middle and divided between bordering states and provinces. If you remove this factor, Florida would be at the top of your list.

China just had a major industrial accident involving a chemical spill into one of the major rivers.  But if you want to read about sad water pollution.. read up about the old mining operations in montanna and the current water pollution because of it.  look for Clark Fork River and Berkeley superfund cleanup... Acidic mine tailings in the water.

Definitely Minnesota.  I grew up around Big Stone Lake along the Minnesota/South Dakota border.  We have several nationally known wallege tournaments per year there.  Also, it is considered a "boundary water", which means that it opens a weekend earlier than the rest of the lakes for fishing season.  Good luck and happy fishing!

Go to Kentucky or Barkley Lkae. Both of them cross the border into Tennessee. They are consistently producing big fish.

Assuming you aren't asking a trick question, I would say that the greatest river that flows south through the North Central Region of the United States is the Mississippi. Another candidate would be the Missouri, if your idea of North Central is a little further west.

I heard there are some in the rivers in the gulf states.
