You can look at the world from a lot of different perspectives, and maps are excellent tools that reflect this diversity of viewpoints.

Each cartographer chooses the story they want to tell, highlighting elements of geography, history, economy, and other areas to paint their own version of our planet.

Maybe it details countries and their borders, maybe it shows the spread of religions, or maybe it reveals the most popular soda drink in every region.

The social media project 'Terrible Maps' shares a whimsical and sometimes absurd approach to mapmaking, and it's full of funny takes you don't normally see in geography textbooks. Continue scrolling to see our hand-picked favorites!

    The reason why the border is shaped that way is the path of a river. That’s exactly the same reason why the power plant was built in this place (cooling water needed). And this nuclear power plant produces electricity for Belgium (and Luxembourg, and Germany). I guess you’d have to be an ignorant idiot to call that being a crappy neighbour.

    There's nothing doubtful about that grammar; it's hideous. "Countries poorer than Bill Gates are marked with a picture of Bill Gates smiling." is a better phrase. If one does not want to disparage those countries, they can instead say, "Bill Gates is richer than multiple countries of the earth, and we have shamelessly tagged them with his smiling face."

    I'm gonna give a huge shoutout to how well this map divided the US into 10 internally cohesive regions of equal population. As in: Cincinnati Ohio, Richmond, Charlotte and Nashville are all in the white region. It might surprise people to find that Cincinnati has more in common with those "Southern" cities than it has in common with Cleveland and the Great Lakes (yellow) region, even if their notion of chilli is profoundly perverse. Hell, I'd even easily name the would-be Capitol for each of these regions, with the only exception of New York City being more dominant than Boston, but Boston more typifying the red "New England" section. Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, St. Louis (Chicago is divided South side vs West Side, here!), Detroit, Pheonix, Boise, San Francisco, Pittsburgh. Seattle, Miami, and New York are too much on the edges to truly typify their regions. The only tough call is Memphis, New Orleans or Houston, but I figure Memphis is a good compromise.
