I also had trouble with that. My mnemonic for Kansas being the Southern one is that it has a "Southern" vibe in The Wizard of Oz (arid climate, tornadoes, farms).

And I also mixed up Vermont and New Hampshire until I noticed Vermont is V-shaped.
Another goog mnemonic is MIMAL the Elf aka the Cook (picrel)

I tend to just recall the quad-state area and that both Kansas and Arkansas are part of it, sometimes I forget though.

I never seemed to have issues with VT and NH, only the Midwest fucked me.

Illinois has a fat gut like Al Capone

These are the ones every Euro can find:
>Alaska
>Hawaii
>California
>Texas
>Florida
They might know these because of their unique shape/position:
>Michigan
>Idaho
>Maine
And these because they're prominent in pop culture:
>New York
>Illinois
>Nevada
>Arizona
>Louisiana
The rest are more difficult

Wisconsin
Wyoming
Kansas

Every Scandinavian can find Minnesota and the Dakotas instantly.

>>217832551
>Mississippi
Right next to Louisiana as you'd expect
>Colorado
>Wyoming
The two squares. Colorado is a Spanish word so it's the Southern square
>Wisconsin
The random blob touching the Great Lakes
>Arkansas
>Iowa
>Missouri
All part of MIMAL
>Kansas
Above Oklahoma
