I think most of us say flat as in flatter than the mountainous areas. Even Texas isn't completely flat but it has much less elevation that mountain states.

Really though, Florida is the flattest state. The bulk of it is barely above sea level, and the highest point is 345 ft. That's nothing; I gain about 300 feet in elevation when I walk to work, and when I went to college, I would gain 600 feet when taking the bus every day.

@angrybirdseller, yeah, eastern Montana is no-man's land. I've been along the Hi-Line (the US 2/BNSF corridor), and from the North Dakota line to Shelby or thereabouts it's just rusty and tiramisu hills, ruddy rivers with little trees, and various small towns, some abandoned. Only one area is flat, and that's between Havre and Shelby, but you get the Sweet Grass Hills to the north, rising over the fields like islands in the sea. It's pretty wild land, if you're used to lots of trees, water, and people.

Handy maps and diagrams.

Furthermore, I consider that I-80 across Nevada must be redone next.

Today's video that scs posted on Youtube is mysterious, the blog didn't say much about it, could it be a teaser on another DLC map or a contest? It occurred to me that the video may be a teaser in Montana, but that's probably a stupid idea

If you noticed, the video seems to be about ATS.

The two flowers at the bottom looks like a bitterroot to me. That's apparently the state flower of MT. So ...?

Definitely has to do with MT. It will be announced in the near future. :)
