Wyoming: capital is in the small area of useful farmland, as opposed to non-arable mountains. Also close to Colorado, which has a lot more useful farmland and general economic activity.
Nebraska and Kansas: capital is close to the Missouri River, where a lot of trade occurs.
Virginia: capital is close to DC. not where this map indicates.
Florida: ??? I guess it’s just generally closer to the mainland.
Alaska: Capital is far south for the relatively tropical climate.
I’m trying to understand where OP thinks Richmond is located. Potshot, but that looks like it would be near dhalgren VA which is nowhere near the capital.
I’d also argue it’s close ish to the capital. More central ish while still being near one of our major rivers source: I live in Virginia.
