Since the last time we wrote about Terrible Maps, a project that is dedicated to sharing maps no one asked for or needs, they've kept themselves rather busy. So it's only natural we created a follow-up article about the cartographers who are so bad, they're actually good. After all, what is the Internet for if not to poke fun at politics and our geographical illiteracy?

From hilarious guides on how to find the state of Kentucky to showing how many Switzerlands fit in Brazil, continue scrolling and check out these gems and tell us which one would you hang on your office wall!

Indeed. It's very informative and shows, approximately, the spread of Native tribes before they were mostly destroyed and killed by Europeans. It's good to see that they're not forgotten.

The idea is wonderful, but no, it's not factual. The Apache tribe never lived in any part of California. There were many, many tribes in Northern California in addition to the Pomo, although the only one I remember is the Coast Miwok, who lived where I grew up.

Why is this map on here? It is not "terrible at all", unless you don't believe in the fact that people actually lived on this land before us

I'm a little confused how this map is terrible. Perhaps it is terrible to racist and classist Karens and Chads who refuse to believe that these people and empires/kingdoms were here long before they were.

except its not accurate such as the Powhattan Confederation goes further south and nowhwere as far north, Iroquois goes further east and south east (and Mahicans were part of the Iroquois), Algonquin are missing, Cherokee were never that large, missing dozens of others in that area. Chickasaw only went that far out west after 1825 when they were forced, ,look at Georgia-Florida border region, Apache were only a smart part of modern AZ at the time, Souix only had a small region in the midwest before Europeans Brought horses and they started conquering other Native tribes and took over a large territory. etc, etc. This map is horrible and super inaccurate for Native American Tribes

This map isn't even remotely correct. I live on the north shore of Lake Superior. Our regional indigenous people are mainly Ojibway, but they're not even represented on the map. The traditional territory of the Cree did not extend down to Lake Superior. And so on...

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/america-colonization-map/ t’s true that the above-displayed map was never taught in American schools, for the plain reason that the map displays an imaginary version of present-day America created for a work of speculative fiction set in an alternate timeline (as indicated by the “Approx. 2015 A.D.” legend in the bottom right-hand portion of the image), not a version of America that actually existed in the historical past. In July 2015, Redditer liminalsoup uploaded the above-displayed chart to the “Imaginary Maps” subreddit under the title “Rough Draft (seeking advice on map for a story i’m writing where Europe never discovered America).” Rather than showing the state of America prior to European colonization, this image is one author’s idea of what America might look like today if Europeans had never colonized it.

OK. We can clearly see these are bad maps. But how to know you're looking at a good one? Brant Scheidecker, a sales engineer at Cartegraph, highlighted some of the main essentials for accurate and easily interpretable map use.

"Every map should have a title. It allows the user to assess the purpose of the map quickly; allowing them to determine if it meets their needs," Scheidecker wrote.

Next, origin. A fancy name for a compass or the North arrow. "This allows the user to determine the maps reference to the earth. While most maps these days have North being straight up, occasionally you will encounter a map that has a skewed orientation, perhaps to better fit it on the physical medium it's presented on (i.e. paper), or simply because it’s easier to interact with the map in that orientation."

    When it comes to the source, it's a two-fold element. "It allows the map maker to provide the map viewer an idea where the data the map is representing is from; a necessity in determining the accuracy of a map. It also allows the map maker a way to cite the source of their data, avoiding all those pesky cries of plagiarism and the ensuing lawsuits," Scheidecker explained. "You have better uses for your time, like ensuring the rest of the T.O.S.S.L.A.D. elements are on your maps."

    Let's not forget the legend (the area where a user can determine what a particular color or symbol represents on the map). "Without a legend, a user cannot successfully interpret what your map is trying to represent, 'Does the red skull and crossbones over my favorite restaurant mean what I think it means?'"

    You should also know when was the map that you're analyzing made. If it was created in 1962 and shows commuter levels in Chicago—it might not be such a valid source for the traffic data you are looking for today, unless you are feeling nostalgic, Scheidecker joked.

    Can agree on worsw food the farther north you go. But I feel Spain and Portugal are being unfairly badmouthed here.

    I know the map is very tongue-in-cheek, but Spain and Portugal do have some amazing food. Lugo in Galicia, Spain was named one of the top culinary destinations in the entire world!

    When talking about toxic food in Scandinavia the creator of this map surely thought about Surströmming, the Swedish sour herring.

    Married to a Florentine Italian here... for 25 years I have heard over and over about the superiority of Italian food. While I agree, the produce is far beyond what we now get in Arizona (where we currently live) I am so sick of the food snobbery. It's not like I'm arguing otherwise! Lol this quarantine is driving me crazy

    It's the Chooz Power Plant and it is actually 2 separated plants: Chooz A was a French-Belgian project and closed down in 1991 (dismantling should be complete by 2025); Chooz B is French-operated only but Belgian citizens and authorities were involved in the project due to the proximity of the border.

    It would be crappy if it was a coal power plant emitting toxic fumes. But nuclear plants don't emit that. And if you're thinking about nuclear risk, then it'd be irrelevant if it's 1 or 10 km close to the border.

    Iowa originally platted 100 counties as expected, but one of them (Bancroft County) was mostly glacial wetlands unsuitable for farming or habitation, so for jurisdictional practicality it got merged into its southern neighboring county (Kossuth County). Many squabbles, reversals and lawsuits later, by the late 1800’s Iowa settled down with the 99 counties it has today. Source: https://who13.com/news/what-ever-happened-to-iowas-100th-county/amp/

    A ONE YEAR FLIGHT MAP: "A young man named Fahd Qash from Saudi Arabia stumbled upon something unusual while out on a walk. Strolling near a swamp, he spotted a dead eagle with a tracking device strapped to it. Curious, Qash noticed that the GPS tracker had an email address printed on it. It turns out that the device was fitted to the eagle in Kazakstan as part of a study of the flight paths of Steppe eagles. This particular eagle was one of 20 that had been tracked since 2018 and the resulting map of their travels is astonishing. Interestingly, they all appear to conspicuously avoid flying over water, as the Caspian Sea, Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf are all free from their trails. Earlier mistranslations of the news caused some outlets to report that the flight path was for one eagle over the course of 20 years, but experts have pointed out that this would be nearly impossible" ... more. https://mymodernmet.com/eagle-tracking-map/

There's Toronto and Montreal....already two of Canada's biggest cities.

    The single syllable river on average is incorrect. It applies to Berlin and phonetically also to London. (And alright Vaduz is located on the Rhine.) But all other capital cities have rivers with two or more syllables... I'm a nerd.

    This is a bit odd as you can't take one train to do that. You could, however, just keep taking trains forever to make a route that would dwarf this.

    Dear, plush n puppet shenanigans: Firstly and foremostly I'm Canadian and I find it ironic that you comment on someone's anti-stereotype comment then you go to talk about 'foreigners' from Western Europe and Canada 'bullying you'. That might have happened but you shouldn't judge an entire country by the action of the occasional person that might have been mean. Bored Panda does not hate America. The US has made their own story and stereotypes. It is a large country (population/influence wise) and so you do NOT have a single story. I'm not trying to make your experience with a mean Canadian any less than it was just don't stereotype people! Sorry (not sorry) P.S. Why are you even on Bored Panda if their poking fun at American stereotypes offends you?

    Yes, Americans are ignorant. I live here, and it’s depressing. I’m much more informed than the average American, but I’m probably still fairly uninformed compared to informed Europeans. Most of my world history learning came AFTER school. School often sucks here, for global knowledge, and that’s not just in Jesusland.

    I'm from Arkansas and have heard of a White River Monster, or "Whitey" several times, but I have never heard of an "Ozark Howler". I may just be an outlier, but the White River Monster does have a lot more mythology related to it, so, in my opinion at least, it is a more dominant myth. ( and I live in the Ozarks by the way)

    I'm an engineer and with some colleagues we've noticed that we can actually tell the development engineers and workshop ones from each other just by observing them wash their hands. Workshop ones wash their hands before using the urinals and devs wash their hands after. When I asked a guy from the workshop why they did this, he answered that he didn't want to touch his penis with greasy hands. Now with covid, we're all required to wash our hands before AND after anyway.

Bise is confusing even for us, and a nightmare when attending a party, you have to do the bise to all people, when you do 4 bises, guess the number of kisses we do.

    Only downside to this is if you aren't keeping track of the matches and you don't coordinate your schedule to avoid public transit for people going to /from the match. Never made that mistake twice!

    Ha Ha! There was an argument on Queer Eye between Tan (the Brit) and the rest of the guys (the Yanks). Tan was saying it the *correct* way, like the rest of the world - *SQUIR-REL*. The others were equally insistent that it was *SQUIRL*. I think they ended at an impasse. They also pronounce *CAR-A-MEL* as *CARMEL*. (I don't know why you were downvoted Tiny, so I upvoted you again for balance).

    Those Romans. Brilliant with their Infantry, not so much with their Air Force.

    That's just really sad. And there is a huge mistake with Hebron, it must be shared as well as Jerusalem.

    There IS NO PALESTINE. Any more than there is an ottoman empire. One strip of what once used to be the franco english colony of palestine got their act together and assembled a modern nation. That was then accorded country status after the war. The rest went back to tribalism until those tribes united in ISIS.
