Did a quick search and could not find it but some guy in the past. Im thinking this was like lewis and clark times. He suggested a few states drawnup by watertable which would avoid some issues with water we have today.

A watershed map could make sense. It's basically another way of dividing by mountain ranges and rivers. I like that you don't need to redraw borders as people move and populations change.
