It's interesting that the state boundaries are almost all the same, except for a few states that have been combined into one - and Texas which is split. The most interesting difference I find is that most of the California coast is part of Mexico. Where is the movie industry located in the alternate universe? Do they still sing "From sea to shining sea?" Is there a Golden Gate Bridge?

If this Hoboken, New Jersey store is any indication, the movie industry would still be located in Hollywood, California in the alternate universe. "The Plateau".
Another clue is from the Fringe Season 2 Press Kit-William Bell's New York Post Newspaper article 'Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy Rerelease' from 2009:
Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose has confirmed that "Chinese Democracy", the band's milti-platnum album from 2000, will be digitally remastered and rereleased to mark its 10th anniversary. In addition to its original 14 tracks, including all four #1 hits, the collector's edition will feature two new songs, studio demo recordings, and audio commentaries from both Rose and lead guitarist Slash. Rose made the announcement during the band's street performance Sunday outside the famed Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, California. The mob of fans shut down traffic for four blocks in each direction.

The only clue that the Golden Gate Bridge probably also exists 'over there' as well is that San Francisco Bay appears on this map of the alternate United States from "Over There Part 2". Much further south, but still there.
This would make San Francisco and Los Angeles much closer to each other 'over there'.
'Over Here' the Golden Gate Bridge spans the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The bridge links San Fran to its northern suburbs in Marin County, California. 'Over There' the bridge could still perform the same function, only the Golden Gate strait would not connect with the Pacific Ocean.
They would still still sing "From sea to shining sea" 'over there', because the states of Oregon and Southern British Columbia (Washington 'over here') still border the Pacific Ocean.
Looks like the Mexican–American War had a slightly different outcome.
So much for "The Big One".
