Largest U.S. Cities in Yellowstone's Eruption Zone

Yeah this quiz would be a lot better if it included Canadian cities. Still, as a non-American, this type of quiz (area of the U.S. on a map, name the cities) is one of my favourite, and this specific one was a great idea.

OMG Five years later and I got 8/20 again!

I guess that's because there are mountains (Rocky) to the west and great plains to the east.

Yeah, if it was not the capital of Missouri, Jefferson City would be pretty insignificant.

Columbia is a city with a big university and medical centers. Jeff City just has state politics and a prison, and MO spends as little as possible on state politics. Years ago I was helping plan a young farm women's conference and was surprised to see that the head of the state secondary education department had a tiny cubicle in a large room with other department heads. Then I met with a professor at Mizzou in Columbia and she had a large, carpeted office with two secretaries in outer offices. I mentioned the large difference to the state head and he said that's state funding versus federal. He said people in his department bring their own brown bag lunches, too, while those at the land grant university had expense accounts.
