I'm always surprised at how ridiculously enormous U.S. metropolitan areas are. (Well, I'm aware of it by now, but still, always amazes me.)

Its because they use counties to determine Metro and CSA borders (which is stupid in my opinion)
It works in older states with small counties but western states with massive counties look absurd like LA and Phoenix the cities themselves take up a small fraction of the "metro" borders most of that yellow space is open wilderness or farms.
