This thread will examine education in the U.S. This map shows the most common highest level of education for adults 25+. Most of the country's highest is high school, but Associate's/Bachelor's is common, too. South/West Texas has a lot that don't have a high school education. 
Because all of the categories split education levels, it can warp the map's perception. So this map combines all college degrees, as well as <high school and GED. Much of the west and northeast is college educated whilst the south and midwest are not.
This specifically looks at the percentage of residents 25+ with less than a high school education. South Texas and the broader south, as well as Appalachia, have the highest rates.
Finally, here are those with a Master's, Professional, or Doctorate by county. The Bay Area, Colorado, and the northeast all stand out here.
I would've looked at some of the other categories individually by county but they weren't as interesting.
