Yes, but land based map is misleading.

No.  If you look at that map, the rural/city effect is obvious.
Note that counties are merely administrative convenience for States:  there is no requirement that their populations be even roughly equal, since they are not legislative districts.
Legislative districts are required to be close to equal in population, but clever gerrymandering can optimize the result for the gerrymandering party.
It has been said that Wisconsin is gerrymandered to the maximum degree permitted by law and mathematics;  the overall vote in that State is roughly equal between the two parties, but the gerrymandering party has about 2/3 of the seats in the State legislature.
The statewide races (e.g. Governor) are not gerrymanderable.
In 2018, 53% of the Wisconsin legislature vote went to the Democrats, but 63 of the 99 seats in the legislature went to Republicans.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redistricting_in_Wisconsin
The neighboring State of Illinois is gerrymandered in favor of the Democrats in the State legislature, but I can't quickly locate the corresponding overall vote and resulting seats data.

I'd say that nature of voting obstructions are pretty systemic.
Somebody said that if they can vote we can never win.
