    Much better to organize it by water systems, with some additional divisions for the Mississippi system ans consolidation of smaller systems not seperated by mountain ranges.

        I found it with google image search for river map usa, but it was not from the original source, so I did not want to credit them.

    So the states get gradually smaller as you go north? Got it.

    I see we’ve forgotten our non-contiguous siblings.

    But more to the point, why not just arrange them alphabetically while we’re here?

    I’m not sure which state is furthest from it’s original position, but Indiana seems quite far from home.

      Kentucky took a pretty big trip, but New Jersey is the funniest to me. At least it still gets an eastern coast.

        Ha you’re right thanks, I just missed it. I saw Oklahoma and didn’t look carefully to the west of it - I think I have been conditioned by the clearly inferior maps we’ve been using.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
