Nebraska, by contrast, elicited the following responses:Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View PostThat was pretty funny. Some of them are surprisingly well-filled-out. Utah seems to be fairly well known, if not exactly well-located on a map, by the Brits.
I would be hard pressed to properly label a single county in the U.K.

The British Library just realeased over 1,000,000 images to the public domain scanned in from books in their collection. They're asking people to crowdsource identification of certain things, and categorization too. Here are some examples from the "Maps" set that has been compiled in the last 72 hours. http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/
