Interesting that it is in Illinois and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but not in Wisconsin.
How does it know where the political boundaries are?

Maybe the state of Wisconsin implements an active anti-snakeroot policy.
Political borders have an impact on the environments they separate. Satellite images (from Google Earth, for example) of the Montana-Canada border make that clear: the different states use the land differently, and that impacts the ecosystems that live on that land.
Interesting point.
I am going to have to look into this further.
