Is there a way to limit a filled map to a single state?

[jbiundo]

I've created a filled map that shows county level data for a single US state. However, the web link open the map centered on the world, and it's very cumbersome to zoom back in to the state level, especially on a mobile device. Is there a way to limit the map to a single state or at least a specified geographic area? 

I was initially trying to build it as a chorpleth map, but I couldn't seem to get the web link to the json file to work. I was trying to use this file: 

https://github.com/deldersveld/topojson/blob/master/countries/us-states/TX-48-texas-counties.json

Thanks for any help!

Using the Shape Map could be good solution in your scenario. 

In order to add the TX-48-texas-counties.json file to your Shape Map, you'll need to download the file(here), then add it locally, instead of using the web link.

Sort of, you can set the Auto Zoom property of the Map Controls section to off.  This allows the author to set the map view, but it doesn't change unless the user interacts with the controls.

Is there a way to limit the map so it only shows a single state or at least a specified geographic area and won't zoom out beyond that?
