california is not near 10%, and washington and oregon aren't even on it, despite the large aircraft and naval productions located there. on the east coast, virginia is that tiny slither despite Newport News naval yard. Texas should be bigger simply by Houston's naval yards.

im a little biased because i can still see the carcass of industrial production out west though

Oregon's aircraft production at the time this map was produced was negligible as far as I can tell. The naval production in terms of tonnage of all the west coast states was significant, but didn't come close to matching the east coast yards.

Am am somewhat surprised by the size of Louisiana and Texas considering that they both produced a lot of ships, but tonnage is king I guess.

A lot of the west coast's industry was only developed towards the end of the war and post-war.
