It's not really the USA without Alaska (and other extracontinental territories, but their landmass probably isn't large enough to change anything).

Or is Alaska included, which would make the presentation of the data even more confusion as it wouldn't even be too scale.

The original article does specify contiguous US.

Ah, missed that OP included the source. Was here to ask for it, but appreciate you pointing it out!
