 Mexican drug cartels control vast swaths of the US drug market, but that influence remains heavily slanted in favor of the vaunted Sinaloa cartel.

The Sinaloa cartel is the oldest cartel currently operating in Mexico, and it controls significant chunks of that country, particularly on the Pacific coast.

It has popped around the world, from Hong Kong to Australia and Argentina to Europe.

There are reasons to doubt the cohesion of the Sinaloa cartel, especially in light of the protracted incarceration of its nominal leader, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, and recent reports of infighting between factions of the group in Sinaloa state, its heartland.

The map is a bit complex; it is interesting that Milwaukee gets a green circle; for the Zetas cartel. I don't see many other "inland" cities with that designation. Looks like a few cities are split such as Atlanta and Birmingham, AL.
