It seems to have been Esmeralda County, NV, where he got 27.5%. Wallace did weirdly well in Nevada - it was his best state outside the South - apparently in large part due to his endorsement by Nevada’s ultra-Conservadem at-large representative, Walter Baring Jr. The state in general had a tradition of right-wing, anti-civil rights Democrats for reasons I’m not entirely sure of. Possibly historic Southern settlement at play.

Depending on how you define “South”, Wallace got 38% in Pemiscot County, Missouri (outright winning the county). Missouri was not a part of the Confederacy and is considered a part of the Midwest by the government for statistical purposes.

He was also the only third-party candidate to ever win any Oklahoma counties (Atoka and Pushmataha), though of course Oklahoma is considered Southern by many official metrics (such as the federal four-region system) and they're rural counties in Little Dixie (not unlike his wins in the Missouri Bootheel).

Missouri may not be considered Southern, but southeastern Missouri is much more "southern" than it is "midwestern". Heavily Baptist, slavery-based economy before the 14th Amendment, and relatively little Yankee and German settlement.

He got 12% in Alaska.  I wonder which part of the state he performed best in.
