That seems plausible. The map does look very good, seeing as how you combined Carter's performance in the Goldwater states (as well as North Carolina, Florida, and Arkansas) with Johnson's performance elsewhere.

I actually combined their performances everywhere, as there were actually some non-Southern counties where Carter did better than LBJ did. notably, he flips Emmons County, North Dakota, and Navajo County, Arizona, which went for Goldwater in 1964. he also flips 2 counties in Johnson's home state of Texas (Panola and Sherman), among others in the South.
I combined LBJ '64 with Carter '76 for a 49-state Democratic landslide (although Arizona could go either way, I'm not sure)
What states vote republican?
I see. But most of the states outside of the South are still more reflective of the Johnson landslide then Carter's narrow victory.
Here's another map I created for the "New Rutherford Scenario". This is a map of an alternate 2012 election in that scenario, in which an incumbent President Mitt Romney loses to Governor Rutherford of Texas, 54.18-45.59%:

This map is set within an alternate timeline. Keep that in mind. Virginia remains more like what it was during the late 20th century, a Republican-leaning state.
Montana has a stronger union presence then in other Mountain West states?
I used a Montana electoral map from US Election Atlas in which the state goes Democratic with these county results.
JBE would probably do much better in the south than any other Democrat. And Georgia is almost-a-swing-state.
But it is one of the states I wasn't sure about.
I'd say that as of right now, Georgia wouldn't vote Democratic before North Carolina. In this scenario, Florida's differing demographics from the rest of the South could make it go R while GA/NC go D, but if I had to pick one of the latter two to flip first, it would be North Carolina.
Georgia is trending Democratic more than North Carolina is, so it's possible that it could go D while North Carolina goes R, in the near future. however, I think JBE wins both.
That would be a very "Southern" ticket that could unite Southern blacks and whites. Such ticket would probably flip Mississippi and North Carolina too. Maybe even Missouri. Although, they would probably do worse in some northern states (Rust belt, Maine etc).
