As a non-American I always assumed "midwest" meant between the northwest and southwest. So like, California and the state to the east of it (Nevada?). Are the highlighted states not more "north middle"?
You have to keep in mind that the US started on the east coast and then expanded west. A lot of the terminology we use goes back to those days, where everything west of the original colonies was "The West".
Ah, it does make sense when you put it that way.
Similar to how the “Middle East” and “Far East” are from a European-centric persecutive.
