Which are our most evocative states?

Which of our states create the most evocative state-wide images....places where the name of the state immediately draws an overall imperssion of it being a "real place", not just a group of places lying inside a set of borders? This thread is not suggesting a better-worse scenerio. There are wonderful states that don't convey a state wide image. Which states offer that overall picture of concept in your mind that gives them that sense of place....and what is the image that they generate?? (I purposely avoided any examples, even obvious ones).>
