# State-card photograph sources

All 50 states and Washington, D.C. have a distinct real photograph. Retrieved and visually checked September 6, 2026. Official thumbnail/rendition files are stored locally; CSS crops them to a consistent card frame. These are geographic illustrations, not images of listed clinics.

Most images are public domain or CC0. Michigan is CC BY-SA 2.5 and is credited below, including the derivative photographer. The downloaded source image retains its stated license. Card display uses CSS cropping only; no local image retouching was performed.

Full machine-readable source records, exact downloaded URLs and individual metadata are in [state-photos.json](state-photos.json).
