shape map for territory not showing legend correctly

I want to build a simple shape map that shows the US broken up by state and territory. Territory is just a created column that is a group of the state column.

 

When I add state to location and territory to legend for a shape map it shows all states being in one territory incorrectly but the legend is right. When I do a normal map it works but I do not like the view where it shows mexico and canada.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @trevordunham ,

1. Verify that your Territory Column is properly associated with the corresponding states. Or consider providing some sample data and I will try to reproduce the problem.
2. You should be able to create a custom map following these steps. Consider using a shape map with a custom boundary layer that focuses only on the US states. This way, you can exclude Mexico and Canada from the view.
