It Sort of Makes Sense

Part of the work I'm doing on The Big Project involves plotting the geographic centroid of each US state and picking out a city to stand for that state's centroid. This doesn't always work well for odd sized states. It appears, for instance, that the geographic centroid of Maryland is Washington DC.

It's near Mount Pleasant.

If it's near Mt. Pleasant that probably means you only looked at the lower peninsula and ignored the upper peninsula entirely.
