A good map should help you find your way around, teach you something about geography or give you a sense of place. But some maps do none of that... Instead, they leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the world. Part cartography, part chaos.
Some maps are masters of misdirection, others are accidental works of comedy. And the internet is full of these useless gems. Many can be found in a little corner aptly called Terrible Maps. The Facebook page has 1.2 million followers, all getting lost together down a rabbit-hole of nonsensical maps.
Bored Panda has put together a list of our favorites from the page for you to scroll through while you plan your next trip. Be warned, many of these might teach you nothing about geography but everything about human imagination, confidence and our ability to slap a label on something and call it a day. These hilarious maps gone south are reminders that not every visual aid is actually aiding anything. Sometimes “it's geography, but make it entertainment...”

AFAIK China technically did win their war on sparrows. The prize was an exponential increase in insects. Turned out the sparrows' appetite for seeds was far less of a danger to the crops than the locusts they used to have for dessert (so to speak). (Wiki: "[The campaign] was one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine which lasted from 1959 to 1961, with an estimated death toll due to starvation ranging in the tens of millions (15 to 55 million)") Talk about one epic Pyrrhic victory.

This is not accurate. This map is based off of data from a site Studee, which has numerous errors in their own calculations. They give Florida as 96 more prisons than they have, bc they include every county and city holding cell facility, but they do not use the same standard for Cali, where it is only actual prisons. And then they give Florida half the number of Universities they actually have, when Florida has actually 2x as many institutes of higher ed than prisons, when looking at the real number. Or for Cali, it is misleading, bc while Cali has more colleges than prisons, California has a smaller number of prisons with huge numbers inside, while florida has lots of smaller prisons.

Countries Where The Local Name Is Extremely Different From The English Version
David 2 months ago
for India Bharat is only in Hindi, not all the languages there, and while they are talking about changing its official nake to Bharat, their legal name in their own country is India.
Stardust she/her 2 months ago
False, in most of the official languages of the country we refer to our own country as Bharat. In fact, I’d wager that most of our languages refer to our country as Bharat because the word is derived from the Sanksrit word Bharata which has many meanings but one of them I remember is that Bharata refers to a mythological king of our country thousands of years ago who had managed to stretch his kingdom all the way from the North Eastern states to Afghanistan.

Austria is missing - unless you consider "Österreich" to be the same name
Heffalump 2 months ago
I do. The spelling is different, but 'Austria' is clearly derived from 'Österreich' when pronounced.

Hrvatska and Croatia aren't that different. Croatia is the Latinisation of the Slavic name. Crna Gora is the same name as Montenegro, just in Montenegrin, so actually not 'extremely different'.

Considering 90% of everything in Virginia is named 'Lee' (and the other 10% is named for other Confederates), it's classification as 'North' comes as quite a surprise.

I have never met another European that considers California to be in the South.
BrunoVI 2 months ago
Not traditionally considered the South: California, New Mexico, Arizona. But Arizona is kinda the South. Traditionally considered the South: Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia. Virginia is now dominated by DC which is the antithesis of the South if ever there was one. Boston is more like the South than DC. Sorta southernish in some ways: Southern Missouri, Southern Ohio, even Southern New Jersey. Not kidding: the redneckiest place I've ever been was in the counties surrounding Atlantic City.

I don't get it. At first I thought the country got the flag of the neighbouring country with the shortest common border - but Denmark and Israel, Germany and Cyprus or Turkey and Argentina (France/Greece, Belgium/India,...) DON'T have a common border. Then I thought "shortest border X equals shortest border Y at blabla km", but Argentina's shortest border (Uruguay) is 590 km - Turkey's border to Azerbaijan is 9 km. Iceland HAS NO land borders - what is the Czech flag doing there?
