U.S. TopoJSON
license: gpl-3.0
height: 600
border: no
redirect: https://observablehq.com/@d3/u-s-map

These county, state and country boundaries are extracted from a single TopoJSON file from us-atlas. Counties are stroked in thin gray, states in thin black, and the country in thick black. See also the fancy drop shadow variant.

All your examples involving US maps use the same /mbostock/raw/4090846/us.json file for the state boundary and mapping data, it looks like. Have you documented anywhere how you generated that json? I'm struggling to achieve the same result when using ogr2ogr and topojson to convert a .shp file to json structured similarly to yours.
