I reckon that OP did the work and that the map is correct. The CA/NV border seems weird. Under Mercator, you're insisting that the angles are correct in the projection. It just looks a little strange - with all those straight lines that you'd expect to see on a plane, but not on a sphere. The conservation of angles threw me off.
