Lake Mead. (I wonder if anything remains of the Hoover dam or if it was destroyed in the wars? That would have been a big honking flood down the grand canyon... )
Depending on where they started from they could cross the northern expanse of what was it to get to Vandenberg Air Force Base, outside of Lompoc, California. As well as launch facilities like those at Kennedy, they also have launch silos for various missile test launches. This could lead to there still being rockets to dig up there. It is also the best launch site in the US for a polar orbit which is good for military uses and would have probably been the last operational launch facitily on the continent during the wars leading up to the Blink.

5000 years later after a purge of all higher technology and a large part of the population, this won't look much like Earth as we know it. This could be anywhere on the planet with enough territory to permit this much travel in a straight line. For all we know, it's Antarctica, with the rest of the planet being too hot to support human life.
(P.S. I rather like this idea.)

I dare say that if you plucked someone out of a city in China in 1016 and plopped them into the middle of current day Beijing they would not recognize much in the world. Some landmarks stand the test of time, of course. But everything else would seem alien.

Looks a bit flat for that though doesn't it?

Gavia seems to be ok.

For much of it, yeah. Though the northern extents (by Google Maps anyway) in Moapa Valley look possible. Perhaps California's Central Valley instead? That's quite flat and getting drained quickly already.
