The Maps and Geography Thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

This is what I have been trying to tell you and PBW. Nobody gives a shit about Nebraska.

[Omaha 680]

Nebraska, by contrast, elicited the following responses:

[Blank] (x3)
Nobody Cares
Middleshire
Nebraska (x2)
Who cares
Oklahoma
Iowa
Further South Dakota
Farmland
Not a clue
Idea (third state in a row containing "absolutely" "no" "idea" and "sorry")
Chicago/The Mid West

Appropriately, an equal number of people were able to successfully identify Nebraska as were able to recognize that nobody cares about Nebraska.

That 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.

I wonder what percentage of Americans wouldn't be able to find England on a map. I bet it is pretty high.

Anybody could miss England, all tucked away down there.

They're also the most educated and see the least amount of divine influence in their lives. It's no wonder they killed Jesus.

Jesus isn't dead. He Lives!

The Jews make the most money and attend church the least. They truly are a chosen people.

Go Mormons!

btw, what does this have to do with maps and geography?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map#Non_spatial_maps

"Diagrams such as schematic diagrams and Gantt charts and treemaps display logical relationships between items, and do not display spatial relationships at all."
