I tried the same thing in 2004 with the London Underground map connections. It was not entirely a disaster.

(Also the linked graphviz file has FL only linked to GA - surely it should have AL as well since AL is linked to FL?)

Maybe, qvge (editor for graphs) may help you.

This was just to see if an automatic layout algorithm could make sense of connections between stations. ("Kinda. If you squint.")

I don’t have the image at hand anymore, but I did Brazilian states (with Graphviz defaults) many years ago and boy, it was excellent.

It amuses me how the Northern line is generally the right shape, but is upside down.

Florida is already linked to Alabama at the top:

  > AL -- FL, GA, MS, TN

Oh, yeah, but I figured it'd include both links, not just the first one alphabetically. But I guess it doesn't make much odds either way.
