There is a book about how each of the individual states got their shape in the United States. Mark Stein who may or not be related to Ben Stein wrote "how the States got Their Shapes", and after a few states including probably your home one this book gets monotonous and very tudinous. 
I mean few of these borders were actually established through conflicts and the reason for a number of these weird jigsaw puzzle shapes of states really is not much of an interest. Stein goes through each and every state with each and every North, South, West, and East direction. I guess if you really have a need to know why a c retain state looks like the way it does then this could be a good reference. The question I have is why would someone really care or wonder about each and ever state. America does to have the cultural sense or history of Europe. Most Americans are always on the move so few people actually have loyalty for a region or a state and they will gladly move to a right to work state to have some cheap house and lawn where the only entertainment is going to a Home Depot on the weekend.
Cities have a more cultural imprint and exceptional view in the hearts of most people than the state as a whole where full travel and transverse entirely except maybe for a few summer spots. Getting back to this book though Stein gives a brief history of the states and the few bickering s some states had for the border. However, when you read how insignificant the squabble of the states disagreements over their borders you will come across as how ridiculous the system of so many independent states is and this book is about as interesting as if there was one about each and every of the 3000 counties in America.
