I always find myself exploring all the areas around my point of origin. My oldest grandson shares my map geekiness and that just makes me smile. I’m also known as the family navigator. Whenever we head out on a road trip, i’m the route coordinator! Sadly, with gas prices being so high, I may have to take my vacation in my recliner exploring my country via maps.

I joined AAA almost fifty years ago and kept an updated set of maps in my home and vehicle. I just called for some new maps and they are not printing on paper but doing something digital now. Very sad news for me. I am now old and retired but love to play around with Google Maps and the Satellite Maps. Hear about an island or a city and must research it and read about it and look at all the photos. So much easier than packing luggage and dealing with airports :-) Lucy HSV AR

There are plenty of pine plantations across East Texas. Most are located where the crappy soils aren't any good for anything else. Many old forested areas were logged then allowed to go back to nature. Up here in Longview, those are being turned into upscale housing developments where they selectively cut down the trees so the finished homes have mature trees on the lots. Looks alot better than the urban sprawl being thrown up on pastureland.

Duck is actually something of a staple in French cuisine. For example the "Canard à l'orange" and "Confit de Canard" and of course "Foie gras de Canard" which is the fattened duck liver, instead of goose liver. Keep up the good work, Kyle!

Because waking up with the sun is most natural and health problems are already associated with living on the western edge of a timezone because you are waking up before the sun. Nothing feels better than leaving the windows amd curtains open in the sumer and waking up to sunlight and birds. Waking up to am alarmclock in the dark just sucks. Somewhat related is you want the sun away from the horizon while driving, not everyone has the luxury of living east of their place of work and driving into the sun when its on/near the horizon just sucks. Late sunrise is problematic, especially in the north where sunlight hours are limited already. So forgive us Northerners for not wanting to wake up in total darkness and then get blinded on our morning commute.

I literally tape my blackout curtains to the wall so that that does not happen. Like I know some people can just fall asleep whenever they want and then wake up at the crack of dawn perfectly well-rested. For those of us who cannot fall asleep on command and are light sleepers, that light wakes us up after like 4 hours of sleep. It's awful. If I could design a house, the bedroom literally would not have windows. That's how much I specifically hate being woken up by the sun. To me nothing feels better than going home from work in the winter and having it still be light out, or at least having it not get dark with hours left in the work day. Back in the day I taught a 5-8 PM lab course in the winter quarter. It literally started an hour and a half after it got dark and went on for three hours after that. It was horrible. Unbelievably depressing. That's why I think permanent daylight time is best *specifically* for people who live in the north. Because for as long as I've lived in the northernmost major city in the continental US, I've always said that the single worst thing about it is how early it gets dark in the winter.

And so we have a large population with the last name of Smith here in the US. Has anyone else heard or read of such a phenomenon from that era?

I I am so grateful for people like you, Kyle! You really make geography interesting… I can only imagine what the world would be like if there were people like you teaching in our school system. Thank you so much!

The more I watch u the more I enjoy you. Luv your stuff!! Thanx so much!!!

Ungulates, ungulates, ungulates... you're right, that IS fun to say.

Do you have sources for the maps you featured? They are all so fascinating I would like to observe them further.

I found your channel and love it. Thank you for your work.

Moose were introduced with 2 pairs from New Brunswick in 1904 and today they're the cause of most accidents and most fatal accidents there. They have no natural enemies and tremendous forests with small marshes which they love.

I was looking for a comment to talk about the moose in Newfoundland. I moved to New Brunswick three years ago from NL and have yet to see one, but used to see multiple back home on my drives. Don't miss them.

Great Video Kyle, love this series and your channel

I would’ve thought Arizona would be air conditioning techs instead of home entertainment installers. I wonder what led to that.

I would think people prefer to be entertained at home than to head out somewhere in the abominable heat.

Great stuff Kyle!

Definitely agree completely on your take for DST, imagine students having to go to school in what is basically the middle of the night in order to get to school on time. Getting to school at about sunrise is bad enough, but an hour before? Well, let's just say no amount of "enjoying the outdoors in winter" would make that anything but miserable.

Florida: Special Ed teachers. New Jersey: Shampooers. LOL.

And MO is coatroom attendants!! Explains the low-brain activity reflected in their choices for state and national “leadership”. They’’ also be blood red in any map that depicts degrees of white supremacy and racism.

I have the exact opposite feeling about daylight saving. I grew up in Wisconsin, and strongly disliked the early sunset (being on the eastern end of Central time). I now live on the western edge of Eastern time, and I absolutely prefer later morning sun and later evening daylight in the winter. I also like the idea of permanent daylight saving time, as that adds even more evening light in the winter. As an outdoorsy person, it's hard to enjoy the snowy season if it's dark when I leave work.

Another great installment of the Interesting Maps series Kyle! Being from (and still living in) The Dis-Contiguous Zero I was not at all surprised to see our state is almost 40 percent covered in forest, although the Pine Barrens take up much of that. Very few out-of-staters know how rural the northern half of our state is, so those who only know "Dirty Jerz" are missing a lot of beauty. And we're OK with that. The "Ticket To Ride" map was awful and hard to even look at!

Love these. Thank you Kyle.

This is my first time knowing about DST becoming permanent in the USA... guess these people will not be realizing what they have truly had until it is gone. 🙁 As someone who had to wake up at 4-5 AM for work at one point while enjoying those 8 PM and later sunsets in the warmer half of the year, this is a bummer that yes, I hope gets repealed soon enough, at least in some areas. Also energy use. Also I was initially a little surprised to see my birth state of Oregon being less forested than thought of by many, before I remembered that east of the Cascades it is mostly prairie and high desert, so that makes sense. But Maine... wow, they certainly are not called the Pine Tree State for nothing! Which reminds me, you could rank the 50 state nicknames at some point! And if the West's megadrought+water crisis gets worse enough(I watched videos in the condition of Lake Powell recently and connected the dots), our nation's population distribution will become more like China's soon enough.

Got my geo-geek on once again! Thanks Kyle!!! Floridumb continues to astound!

Love the videos AND love seeing Benefit sitting behind you 🤗

I would love to see a map of uninhabited (by human) parts of the US

Not so many of those in the contiguous 48. The furthest spot from a road (a decent indicator that humans are about) is near Yellowstone, about twenty miles from the nearest road.

I aint from Texas but that first map (love it!) has the Panhandle and Brownsville in the same hypothetical state. That dont seem right. Maybe that North-South orientation works for Western Montana down to Northern New Mexico cuz of the whole Rocky Mt thing, but the Southwest shoulda been more East-West oriented hypothetical states. Just saying. Eastern New Mexico is correctly shown as part of West Texas. Of course, I know Kyle has nothing to do with the design of the map, etc. I just feel like chatting tonite. Thanks for listening.

9:50 AS a graduate of Los Alamos HS in New Mexico, I had to laugh at physicists being the most out of proportion job. Yep, about half of the kids in our HS had Physicists or engineers for parents. We love the channel. Keep it up.

I've liked, watched, and subscribed (a long time ago), but the heck if i'm gonna give in to the man and comment for his dang nabbed algorithm. Thanks, Kyle. I even pause the ad blocker for you.

North East Arizona is an hour ahead of the reast of the state 🇺🇸

This is a great series, but I miss road-trip related videos from you too! I would love a video talking about how you strike a balance between distance driven per day and actually doing things in the states you're driving through

I've got more road trip stuff coming up. I'll be on a road trip in May and will have videos about the trip. I'll likely also redo my first couple of videos that were about road trip ideas and tips. Those are pretty old (2017) and are awful videos, although the info itself is still pretty good.

Love your channel, Kyle. I love how it's devoid of all political and religious discourse! Fun with maps! Yah!

Completely okay with DST being permanent, imo it's much better to have that extra hour of sun later in the day. I would consider moving to the farthest west point of a time zone if they made standard time permanent

@outbackigloo6489

Either way, you get the same number of hours of sunlight per day. So make standard time year-long and if you need more evening sun, plan your day an hour earlier.
