The cross-hatching showing that cot = caught should go further south in WV IMO.  I definately don't distinguish the 2, and I am definately from an area that's not cross-hatched.

Hmm, drawing out "caught" a little more than "cot" and/or pronouncing the former almost like "cowt" does seem like something you'd hear in southern WV.  I have absolutely nothing to back that up, though.
