Default Images in US passport

So I got my US Passport yesterday, and my family and I were discussing the images on the various pages, and which states they are showing.

Here is our best guess so far:
pp. 4-5: Arizona - Saguaro National Monument
pp. 6-7: Either Montana - Glacier National Park, somewhere in the Rockies in CO.
pp. 8-9: Pennsylvania - Independence Hall and Liberty Bell
pp. 10-11: North Carolina?? (Cape Hatteras??)
pp. 12-13: Wyoming?? (Grand Tetons??)
pp. 14-15 South Dakota - Mount Rushmore
pp. 16-17 Mississippi River, but could be a large number of states.
pp. 18-19 Kansas??
pp. 20-21 Texas?? (Longhorn cattle)
pp. 22-23 ?? Continental Divide??
pp. 24-25 Washington - looks like a Makah totem.
pp. 26-27 New Jersey - Liberty Island
p. 28 Hawaii
p. 29 Space, the Final Frontier. Is the satellite Telstar?

Any corrections/additions would be appreciated.

Not a telecom satellite. Looks like an artist's rendering of Voyager or Galileo.

Are you sure you got a real one? Ours both have the various State seals. Which are labeled, for the symbol impaired.

I'll check when I get up.

Maybe my passport is a cheap forgery! A cheap $2000 forgery!

ZOMG! I got teh f4k3rz!!!

Can't see any State seal or labels.

I have pictures, and across the top of each double page spread is a quote (which is not in any way connected with the picture, since the WA state pic has a quote from the Mohawk nation, who, IIRC, are a NY tribe)

Ah, well: back to Blighty for me I suppose...

'Er Indoors' passport is currently in the safe deposit box. It was issued in 2002, though, and I don't believe it has the full-page images, since she was cooing excitedly over the new design of mine.

BTW: DH==Dear Hubby?

Yup, DH = Darling Husband, Dippy Husband.. whatever fits for the day. ('Dippy' is actually one thing he never is. 'Damned' maybe....)

If it's in the safe deposit box, how can she run off at a moment's notice to join a ship sailing for Bali or parts foreign? That's why I always keep mine handy.
