Maybe those plates are more common in way western MD?
Although there are some farms in Western Maryland, most of the state's farms and agriculture are in Southern Maryland (corn, tobacco) and on the Eastern Shore (poultry), a long way from Western Maryland, which is mostly forested mountains and, in some cases, coal mining.
MD is by far the oddest looking state on a map in the country. I've never been out that way.
West Virginia is generally considered to have the oddest state-boundaries....which traces back as to how the state was formed.
I moved back to CA from the DC area in 1999. Back then, the standard MD plate was white with black numbers/letters and the crest. The VA plates were white with blue numbers/letters at least by default. I miss some things about living there, first and foremost being youth . I really loved the Chesapeake bay and my favorite spot for food and drinks was Old Town Alexandria. Weather during my handful of Winters there were not as severe as what’s been posted here recently. We did get ice storms. Not fun.

Today, even more so than in 1999, Virginia has an unbelievable number of different plate-designs. Some of them are only a one-time fee, but most of them cost extra each year over the standard plates.
It's a combination of that ultra weird border with VA, the irregular outline of the Chesapeake, and then a bunch of perfectly straight lines with DE, PA and WV.
surely you mean more as far as ratio of coastline vs overall area?
and even still i'd have guessed florida or alaska
Nope, miles of coastline if you count all of the little estuaries and all along the bay, it’s over 7,000 miles of coastline, depending on what number you use.
Bringing it back to cars, MD drivers are terrible in the snow lol.

i'll go back to the cars in a sec lol but here's a table from the ever reliable wikipedia
so yes maryland does have the highest coastal ratio, but even using the NOAA method it's way below the most overall
