Each of the counties takes the color of the club nearest its centre, by great-circle distance from the club's home city (the dots). Clubs sharing a city share a striped territory. 2,213 districts lie outside the frame and are counted below but not drawn. Clubs without a color of their own on record are given one from a neutral set; those are not club colors. Boundaries: 2020 US counties, 2021 Canadian census divisions, Eurostat NUTS 2021 level 3. Hover a territory for its count. No coordinates on record for New York Apollo, New York Eagles, Pennsylvania Stoners, so they are left off the map.
