Nice map for projected areas of US inundation. This should be a well established area for your Morrow games!

Somehow an over 350' increase in the sea level seems a bit much for the timeline of the Project. Still, those dry areas would be areas that should be relatively safe from prolonged flooding.

If you want to see an interactive map that lets you pick the rise in sea level up to 60m, you can go here:

This looks more like a changes with a tectonic plate movement (San Andreas has a major issue). The entire central area of the Rocky Mountains underwater? Not likely with just a rise in sea level. An entire continental size island appearing off the eastern seaboard? Same deal.

http://xs3d.climatecentral.org/ has a plugin for Google Earth (US areas only) that does much the same but enables zooming often right down to street level. This represents an 8' rise in ocean levels and isn't adjustable.
They have a number of other maps, etc. relating to ocean levels rising.

I mean, the map used in Stars Reach might be a bit more in line really. Wish I had a picture of it.

These are certainly the better ones I have seen.
