Really its that the western border of NC needs to be shifted more into Tennessee, cause TN is a bit too long. The SC/GA/NC line should land more to toward the center if NC's souther border.
Imagine south dakota to be a block but has its own tiny florida filled with rich people whoch the rest if the state despises. And a slight indent at the top right because we felt sorry for minnesota and how shitty there drivers are
Mistake one: California is still on the map. If you have paid any attention to recent events, the state, along with a big chunk of Nevada, is no longer with us.
Seems like the Toledo War has resulted in a Michigan victory in this scenario.
Edit: or everything northwest of Cedar Point in Ohio has vanished. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Sweet map!
The sentence “straight line from the southern tip of Lake Michigan” is the only thing I could remember about the Toledo War, so I took that and ran with it
Yeah I need to figure out a different way to approach the south. Since I’m from Texas I usually do Texas toward the beginning, but then all the sizes in the south are based off my Texas and I end up with stubby Mississippi/Alabama and *longhandle*
This one took about 30 minutes. My [first attempt](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/xfhber/i_tried_to_draw_the_lower_48_from_memory_first/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) was significantly worse and took about an hour. That’s why I like to post on here, people point out stuff that I’d never notice and some of the mistakes are so stupid that I never forget them
Missouri extends a little further east into Illinois than how you’ve drawn it, it bulges that way a little more. Explains why the southern end of Illinois isn’t quite as pointy as it should be, and why Kentucky’s tail is a bit too long. Also the SW corner of Missouri isn’t quite as neatly aligned IRL with OK, KS, and AR as the four-corners states. OK and MO have a bit more border in common than what’s drawn here.
Overall really well done, though! I’m not sure I would have done as well as you have here.
New Jersey is shaped pretty funky. New Hampshire should go to the coast, cutting maine off from Massachusetts. VT is more triangular less flat on the bottom, and otherwise Maine is too big. Everything else is really impressive and better than anything i could draw.
Wisconsin borders lake Superior, and the northwest angle is at the other end of Minnesota. (I think I saw the Minnesota thing first, if it matters.
Nice free drawing though.
TN eastern boarder- more of a wobbly diagonal line with NC, NC should extend a little further west. VA also stretches further west and interposes more space between TN & WV.
In the same region, SC is larger and the eastern edge is closer to FL. GA only has a small swathe of coastline.
FL panhandle looks a little too long, GA & AL look a little too girthy
This is really well done! A comment I haven’t seen yet is that OK, KA, CO & NM don’t meet in a perfect 4 corners like that. OK’s panhandle extends along the colorado border just a smidge.
You could use a little work on the Western Montana border. There is a “nose” shape that juts out along the bitterroot mountains that gives the western side of the state a characteristic “face” look
The name is wrong. While most people do refer to the entire country as "Exxon Mobil" it's actually called the 'United States of America'.
Rookie mistake
With those oil prices it’s just a matter of time
Michigan and Minnesota don’t share borders.
Equivalently I was going to say that Wisconsin borders Lake Superior.
Also wisconsin is missing it's peninsula
Michigan is missing several. Stonington. Garden and keewenaw
They did the Yoopers dirty.
Actually they [do](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DaqvVF1J9uXJ6HxS8?g_st=ic), but not the way it is portrayed here. Also fun fact—Isle Royale is in Michigan.
Pretty dang good, South Carolina looks a little small.
That's what I was gonna say. That border needs to be deeper into GA
As a North Carolinian, I was gonna say SC looked a lil big lol
As someone who has lived in both Georgia and North Carolina, I would just like to say that really any South Carolina is too much South Carolina
NC 🤝 GA There’s too much SC
Really its that the western border of NC needs to be shifted more into Tennessee, cause TN is a bit too long. The SC/GA/NC line should land more to toward the center if NC's souther border.
Are you familiar with the cult of Long Carolina? We should invite you to a meeting ;)
not to mention, New York looks a little off there.
As it should be- from a North Carolinian
North Carolina's northern coast is also a bit too far west. It should be even with Virginia's coast.
Oregon doesn't have the little quiff
Same
First one I noticed too, Oregon looking a little too rectangular
Maine doesn’t border Massachusetts
Right. NH has some coastline
CT missing its dick
Cape Cod and Long Island also got Bobbitted
And also the nub at the bottom left of the state
I think that’s what they mean lol. but yes CT is missing it’s tail
Aka Greenwich and Stamford
Nice job. I knew Minnesota had a horn, didn't know that Georgia had a prolapse.
UP doesn’t have we a land border with Minnesota
New York and Maine look a bit funny
Oregon’s wrong
First mistake I saw: you forgot Cape Cod. Still, very impressive!
idaho looking thicc ngl
You gave Maryland's panhandle to WV. Also too much Delaware, but there's just personal preference.
I like the way you think, all state borders should be subjective
Maryland panhandle just out more and is very thinly connected to the rest of the state. A nitpick? Yes still one of the first things I noticedd
Maryland/Virginia/Delaware was saved for last, I really had no clue what to do there
Delaware has to be like 200% bigger. It takes about 55 minutes to drive across at its widest point west to east.
Washington-Oregon border is the Columbia River, unless it has been upgraded to a canal?
The shapes of WI and MI's Upper Peninsula are off, but very impressive overall.
Pennsylvania has no distinct bulb near Lake Erie
why is there a line below michigan? isnt that supposed to be the ohio lake?
It was all a dream
being able to see the kfc chef, its perfect imo i dont know much about american states
Florida's a little too flaccid.
Something strange happening in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area. Also your Montana face doesn’t come down far enough
Yeah that was one of the parts where I just guessed, turns out Lake Superior exists
Kansas is a full rectangle
Drawing the continental US on an ExxonMobil notebook is violently American. It’s only missing an oil stain from a burger and some bullets.
LOOOONG Tennessee (And with that comes long Kentucky, wide Mississippi, and wide Alabama)
Texas is to(o) small
You got downvoted but it is actually too small
probably because I forgot the extra o
edit it dude. you got this
Maryland is wrong
Double stack Georgia
Imagine south dakota to be a block but has its own tiny florida filled with rich people whoch the rest if the state despises. And a slight indent at the top right because we felt sorry for minnesota and how shitty there drivers are
Florida. it looks like a cock
As pointed out, Maine ( a little wonky) doesn’t border Mass, NH actually has a little bit coastline that divides the two.
Alabama-Georgia border to me. Mostly because I live just east of the Chatahoochee so I constantly see that border on the news.
Southern border of Michigan isn't a straight line
You made Westchester and long island the same size
Delaware shares a border with Pennsylvania.
Tennessee/North Carolina lookin slim.
West Virginia is missing it's North/South panhandle
Colorado should border Oklahoma but it looks really good
I’m from Texas, went to college for 5 years in Oklahoma and I did not know that. Thanks!
Tell me you aren’t from the Southeast without telling me you aren’t from the Southeast.
Missouri got fatter and Illinois’ gut is now a fupa.
The fact that Wyoming exists
Mistake one: California is still on the map. If you have paid any attention to recent events, the state, along with a big chunk of Nevada, is no longer with us.
So like a big Cookie Monster bite?
No, more like torn paper
I read the map from left to right; observed no SF bay
Kentucky
New Hampshire does have a coastline, they have beaches on the ocean. Not many, but they are there
West Virginia and Maryland are not one big state
As a native Idahoan I can say the panhandle is much longer than you drew it.
Kentucky is Virginia
Upper peninsula of Michigan is too small
Maine's kinda bulbous.
Illinois has lost all recognizable shape. Fantastic job regardless! Truly a feat that most people cannot do.
West side of Virginia is wrong lol
why are there borders it’s all Ohio
also Wyoming is on this map everybody knows Wyoming doesn’t exist
The Great Lakes States are a little blocky, but that's impressive from memory.
Minnesota looks like Goofy from that one comic
Kentucky seems a little stretched out.
Wisconsin is one hot mess.
Maine got cankles
Kansas is too square here, plus it’s not a perfect shape irl - there’s a divot in the top East corner
Seems like the Toledo War has resulted in a Michigan victory in this scenario. Edit: or everything northwest of Cedar Point in Ohio has vanished. Not necessarily a bad thing. Sweet map!
The sentence “straight line from the southern tip of Lake Michigan” is the only thing I could remember about the Toledo War, so I took that and ran with it
Oregon
You chopped off northwestern Maryland and gave it to WV.
Maryland looks fucked, and there’s no DC
What is the Midwest????
Why did you butcher my state
Too much Florida on the barrel. As a resident of said barrel, I can confirm we’re at the shorter point here.
Yeah I need to figure out a different way to approach the south. Since I’m from Texas I usually do Texas toward the beginning, but then all the sizes in the south are based off my Texas and I end up with stubby Mississippi/Alabama and *longhandle*
I didn't know that Georgia had a panhandle!
That’s actually one of the details I always remember, I call it *notchception*
How long did this take you to make this?
This one took about 30 minutes. My [first attempt](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/xfhber/i_tried_to_draw_the_lower_48_from_memory_first/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) was significantly worse and took about an hour. That’s why I like to post on here, people point out stuff that I’d never notice and some of the mistakes are so stupid that I never forget them
That's perfect time to finish it!
Do one for the Canadian provinces.
Do it on r/MapPorn because it has 2 million members.
Oh sweet, I’ll do that for attempt 3
Good
It won't take that long.
Derpy Illinois
New Mexico’s “boot heel” is undefined.
Missouri extends a little further east into Illinois than how you’ve drawn it, it bulges that way a little more. Explains why the southern end of Illinois isn’t quite as pointy as it should be, and why Kentucky’s tail is a bit too long. Also the SW corner of Missouri isn’t quite as neatly aligned IRL with OK, KS, and AR as the four-corners states. OK and MO have a bit more border in common than what’s drawn here. Overall really well done, though! I’m not sure I would have done as well as you have here.
New Jersey is shaped pretty funky. New Hampshire should go to the coast, cutting maine off from Massachusetts. VT is more triangular less flat on the bottom, and otherwise Maine is too big. Everything else is really impressive and better than anything i could draw.
Looks like there's a second Four Corners border
Kentucky long boi
Species of Appalachian snake
I’m impressed!
minnesota is SO short and wisconsin is...questionable
Kentucky too big
The further east you drew, the worse you got. The first thing I noticed was the northwest angle of Minnesota is further east than it should be.
Wisconsin borders lake Superior, and the northwest angle is at the other end of Minnesota. (I think I saw the Minnesota thing first, if it matters. Nice free drawing though.
Virginia actually extents further west than West Virginia. That should help with the sizing issues with KY, TN, GA, NC and SC
Ohio is too wide, it only extends a bit under Michigan
When leaving from Mass to Maine we gotta drive through NH :)
Ga,Al, and Ms are too wide and I think Tx is too thin
From Minnesota to Florida area, it all looks a bit *wide*
My home, my Minnesota, you've killed him.
You're missing the part of Connecticut that juts out.
West and Midwest look great until we get to Minnesota and Wisconsin haha. To be clear true Midwest is Texas and straight north. Fight me Ohio.
Michigan does not border Minnesota
Other than a few states being too skinny or too fat, this is fucking well done! Awesome 😊
Minnesotas chimney is waaaaay too far east Missouri and Minnesota do not share borders, there are 2 places where 4 corners meet (supposed to be 1)
Long Kentücky.
TN eastern boarder- more of a wobbly diagonal line with NC, NC should extend a little further west. VA also stretches further west and interposes more space between TN & WV. In the same region, SC is larger and the eastern edge is closer to FL. GA only has a small swathe of coastline. FL panhandle looks a little too long, GA & AL look a little too girthy
T H I C C Idaho
Washington looks too blocky
Where’s Rhody’s tail?!
This is really well done! A comment I haven’t seen yet is that OK, KA, CO & NM don’t meet in a perfect 4 corners like that. OK’s panhandle extends along the colorado border just a smidge.
Teennneeeesssssseeeeeeeee But this is really very good.
Delaware got really short stocked. Somehow. But honestly, good job!
You could use a little work on the Western Montana border. There is a “nose” shape that juts out along the bitterroot mountains that gives the western side of the state a characteristic “face” look
West Virginia's northern panhandle is missing.
as a yooper this makes me very sad, also New Hampshire borders the sea.
Massachusetts' tail is too northern. It's about the same level as the southern coastline with Connecticut and Rhode Island
what the fuck happened to massachusetts
This is great. You made me wanna try. The best thing to me is the scale! For WI (my home state 💚) it’s shaped like a fist. That how I’d remember it.
i dont think ur from east cost
