This interactive map of the United States displays state boundaries and landmasses, rendered as SVG paths with a coral fill and indigo stroke. It uses D3’s `geoAlbersUsaTerritories` projection and `geoPath` to convert TopoJSON feature and mesh data into geographic paths. React manages the component lifecycle, fetching the source JSON from a GitHub gist via `json` and `topojson`'s `feature` and `mesh` functions. The visualization updates dynamically, showing a loading message until data is available.
