This is the ideal map.  since Nevada is basically a 50-50 state (1 senator from each party, only went D by about 2 or 3 points in 2016, state legislature frequently changes hands) it makes sense to have a 2R-2D split of the state.  While on average Nevada might have a 2 point democratic advantage, that is not enough to justify a 3D-1R split of the state, a 2R-2D split is very fair for a state that is about the most competitive in the nation.  with this map it appears there is a safe r, lean r, safe d, and lean d seat.  Probably a 2R-2D split except in wave election years when you could get a 3D-1R or 3R-1D split.

as a former Californian I have a few points on your mostly good map.  however:
1. El Dorado County should be kept whole.
2. Combine Northern and Eastern San Joaquin County  with the Eastern Sac county suburbs like Orangevale
3. in SoCal make a CD as follows: Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, Simi Valley, unincorporated N. Ventura County, Santa Clarita, and the western parts of the Antelope valley (like quartz Hill)
