When I was in Europe as a student, everybody wanted to know what state I was from, so I got used to answering that way. Surprisingly, everybody seemed to know all the U.S. states, and had pretty strong mental associations with a lot of them. I'm from Texas, and to them, that meant horses and cowboys and George Strait and "howdy, y'all!"

A few I have from watching TV and games (probably incorrect).

Vermont -> green hills

Dakota -> hard deserts and Amerindians

Nevada -> sand desert

Texas -> ranches.

Arizona -> Lots of sun and hot.

Florida -> beach and spaces.

Kansas -> Big corn farms.

Massachusetts -> US version of Europe.

Missouri -> Rivers.

Really, that's all of New England - New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, maybe parts of Pennsylvania depending on who you talk to.
