It only covers to Washington atm, but i figured it would be better to start small and move from here. I'm still new to Photoshop so it's not as "post apocalyptic" as I would like so its a work in progress.
What are your thoughts?

Some thoughts.
It needs a north arrow, specially as up is not high north
It needs a scale bar
You need to halo the lettering. Specially when using it on top of an aerial image with multiple colours under it.
You might have wanted to turn on the elevation on Google earth to give you a false 3D in the image.
You might have wanted to make the base image gray-scale so that it's cheaper to print and makes the highlighted areas stand out more.
You might want to photoshop "Google Earth" out of the map.
EDIT: Feel free to ask about about map making if you want. I make them for a living.
