Regarding the polar tributaries map, I'll never forget the time I was driving in North Dakota and saw a sign "Continental Divide". I was nowhere near the Rockies so how could this be a Continental Divide? Well, I finally figured out it was the area where the waters flew into Hudson Bay instead of the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico. You can see part of North Dakota represented on the map flowing into Hudson Bay.

Named The Laurentian Divide. It runs from Triple Divide Peak (aptly named if I don't say so) loosely following the US-Canada border to the Great Lakes, and then angling northeastward to Labrador. Its western portion defined the northern extent of the Louisiana Purchase.

Having lived in Hessen when I was stationed in Germany, I appreciate the elevation map. Notice the higher elevations in the south of the state, this is the Odenwald mountain region, which is an amazing area for hikers. The whole state is really underrated by foreign travelers.

@claas901

The whole state is pretty great for hiking as you are close to mountains pretty much everywhere, whether you're in the south, east, north, or west. I think it's not just underrated by foreigners but also Germans themselves because it's mostly seen as a transit state that you need to cross to get to the more popular destinations such as the coast or the Alps

I think it totally messed up a lot of the eastern driftless area. Sauk County is one of the most definitive driftless counties, and a big chunk of Western Columbia County is an extension of the same driftless landscape, so putting it entirely in the central farmland region is very inaccurate.

Fantastic maps everyone. Thanks so much for sharing and curating these Kyle. Really enjoy this series. Top man!

Max - map looked pretty good, but some areas of the Northwoods blend with central farmland a little more south, even as south as Portage and Marathon counties. Just my personal opinion from spending time in the region. The amount of forest cover is much more than what I would consider central farmland.

The cow map was awesome! We have soooo many cows in Oklahoma. Actually took a road trip to central Kentucky last summer and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of cows. The Chicago buildings by decade map is really great as well. Love going to Chicago, so much history and there's so much to do.

You can see the strategically important "Fulda Gap" on the map of Hesse by Klaus. NATO defends this gap quite strongly as it is presumed to be the most likely invasion route if Russia were ever to attack Germany and want to proceed towards Frankfurt and the Rhine.

Kyle your content is awesome!! Keep it up my man

That cell phone coverage in 1990 map is pretty wild. I remember being in the US back then and only a very very little amount of people had one around me. It was mostly pagers and payphones.

Niels map is great too.

The population density by county with the colors is a great idea but it NEEDS a better color scheme!

One of the more interesting maps I've seen before is the states redrawn to where the nearest state capital is the state you are in.

Howdy Kyle Much enjoyed 'Interesting Maps #11 but, as one of your loyal viewers here in England, may I make a plea for you to produce a video particular subject? Given what is currently happening in the USA, it would be very informative for those of us who are not residents of the United States to be able to understand the "geography" of the US legal system. I say "geography " because it may be more geopolitics or even demography but I personally would like to understand the geographic extent of legal entities such as "The Southern District of New York" and how such jurisdictions overlay the physical geography of the USA. I hope that you will be able to oblige but please tell me if I am barking up the wrong tree. Adam

Hi Kyle, I really appreciate your work. I watch everything you post. That said, could I request that you spend more time on each map? Longer video time, or less maps per video? I just think that without pausing, I don’t have enough time to look at details.

Thanks!

Mr.King may you do another “state profile video?”!, perhaps Georgia ?. I do enjoy these videos btw!

Yes again great maps. Do you have suggestions for programs for making maps?

As of a year ago, the color of Oregon on the Cracker barrel map 8:18 should be purple. They closed 3 in the state last year.

In my town there was a tavern called "Baca Belha" = "Old Cow", so I guess it would be the perfect name for a pub in the central plains. 😁

Hell yeah Kyle!!

The Cool Waters map was very interesting. But the contrast could have been sharper. A little bit hard to look at.

I saw a very interesting map on Twitter of Australia where it shows the climate equivalents of other places in the world. For example, the great Victoria desert represented by the Sahara Desert and south Western Australia represented by central Spain and California. If you could find it I would love for you to give it a review!

Howdy Kyle, any tips for someone who would like to learn how to make thier own maps? I've been a novice paper map collector, have rudimentary graphic design skills and would like to eventually make my own GPS and digital maps. Thank you, really enjoy your content.

Wondering if Neil S has a link or pdf file to access that map of Chicago?? I have lived downtown Chicago my entire adult life and that would make a great piece of art to hang on the wall.

I'm a little surprised Louisiana has any cows on this county map. I thought all the cattle parished.

The high number of cellphones in developing countries is likely a sign that they’ve skipped over land lines and gone straight to mobile.

The pink/red areas contained a smaller proportion of the total population in 2020 than they did in 2010. Their absolute population numbers may still have grown. The map is controlled for the average pop. growth during that decade (7,4%).

Did the population map between 2010-2020 include the deaths in 2020 due to CoVid?
