Strange Maps

This map, used in a Mexican ad campaign, shows what the US-Mexican border would look like in an `absolut' (i.e. perfect) world: a large part of the US's west is annexed to Mexico. Needless to say this map made its way to `El Norte', annoying and upsetting many Americans - even... more

A visual way of looking at geographies differently. Quite US centric but fascinating nevertheless.

Proof positive that, given enough beer, you get utopia (#386). From the pages: In the 1970s, geography professor C. Etzel Pearcy proposed redrawing the borders of the US states, reducing them from 50 to 38. Each new states name was chosen to represent a physical o[r] cultural aspect of each new territory. This realignment was supposed to be more organic and more logical, as major population centres such as Kansas City would no longer be located in two different states. Needless to say, the idea never left the drawing board. Found on this page of the South Dakota Magazine.
