In 1935...

Utah-Wyoming was a single section.
MDC was a section -- but it was really MDDC (or MDDDC?) because Delaware was part of it too.
The West Indies indeed included PR, USVI, Cuba, and the Isle of Pines -- but it wasn't known as West Indies because it included Georgia and South 
Carolina too!

(yes, they mention "Isle of Pines" separately from the rest of Cuba)

There were no Yukon, NWT, or NL sections.  (ISTR Yukon and the NWT were administered as part of BC?  Newfoundland wasn't yet part of Canada, but then 
again Cuba wasn't part of the U.S. either.....)

States that were split:

EPA/WPA
SNJ/NNJ
WNY/ENY/NLI
NMN/SMN (Minnesota)
EMA/WMA
LAX/SCV/EB/SF/SV/SDG/SJV
EFL/WFL (Florida)
NTX/STX


Why were Ohio, Michigan, Ontario, and Illinois never divided?
