And yes, I decided last second to be top 11 rather than top 10 to include NH, as it narrowly beat out Idaho, North Carolina and Montana, and I found that impressive enough to include.

Great quiz. Somewhat surprising to see NH on here but then I remembered that the White Mountains are pretty dramatic.

Also you have a great user name! I've been up there many times.

Been up where? There are a lot of features named after Kearsarge. Off the top of my head, there is Kearsarge Pass in California and two different Mount Kearsarge's in New Hampshire, in addition to at least a half dozen roads, and a school district around Kearsarge South. My username is a reference to Mount Kearsarge (South) in NH, as I grew up in that area.

I believe that the pass in California, and Kearsarge North were both named after Kearsarge South, which was the original " Mount Kearsarge"
