Glaring Map Errors

[hotdogPi]

Not mentioned yet:

- Nevada has three capitals, one of which is Carsom City.
- Taos doesn't deserve to be on a map of this size.
- New Hampshire, no P.
- Someone mentioned Connecticut missing, but Rhode Island is also part of Massachusetts.
- Wasington, DC. They spelled the state correctly, why not the city?
- Cincinanti.
- Illinois touches Tennessee.
- Massachusetts touches Maine.
- LITTLE ROCk, last letter lowercase.
- There's a boat on the Mexican mainland.
- Minor error: Saguaro cacti are in southern Arizona and the part of Mexico near Arizona. Not Texas.

They got one thing right that many don't, though: Opposite sides of a die (see Nevada) add up to 7. The faces showing are 3-5-6 and 4-5-6, both of which are possible. MANY images get this wrong, showing what should be opposite faces on adjacent faces.

I want to go to Cincinanti and have some chili.

Also, there's Indianpous and Minneapous...but Annapolis is spelled correctly.

Philadelphia doesn't have a symbol next to it, so it looks like the capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg Philadelphia.

Virginia appears to have ceded the Eastern Shore counties to Maryland.

I like the "disputed zone" in Ontario that Michigan appears to be trying to annex.

^You just know that's Matty Maroun making a move in the Detroit Bridge War

That's Sarnia, which is only accessible via wardrobe during halcyon days.

I may have mentioned this, but Hartford is excluded altogether, and Boston is where Hartford should be.

Also the Hawaiian island of "Monokai"

Juneau's name is mixed-case instead of all-caps

[andrepoiy]

"LOWA", instead of "IOWA"

[webny99]

"LOWA", instead of "IOWA"

Definitely been mentioned a few times.

Also, basically this entire thread has been consumed by that one map. It's definitely wow worthy, but in fairness to the OP, I'm sure there's many other glaring map errors out there

Also let's not forget that the borders are fucked!

The Boot-heel of Misery, what is that about?!

Once again, VDOT's official map has some problems in Richmond...namely the infamous "21th Street", and US 1/301 being on Chamberlayne Parkway (which it isn't)... Also, Duval Street mysteriously ends under the MLK Bridge rather than becoming 13th Street and ending at Marshall, and Franklin Street is shown as continuous between 15th and 17th (it isn't, unless you plow through Main Street Station).

VA 42 is erroneously shown as VA 43 on the current VDOT Rockingham County Map in the Timberville inset.

(I was unsure where else to put these.)

This topic about glaring map errors was revived... and I expected it to be about the Gulf of Mexico.

So what does everyone think of these proposed changes?

Not in favor of most of them.  But Minnesota should totally change its name to Minne.

Definitely one of those AI generated maps where the longer you look at it the worse it gets. For example, why is Tijuana listed twice in Mexico?

Also love the fact that there's apparently another new Space Needle in California.

I'm just glad they finally labeled Québec as a second Ontario.

[Rothman]

Where was Old Mizone?

[freebrickproductions]

I just realized that Michigan is also completely unlabeled, lmao.

The Gulf of Mexico is also called the "Gulf of Mexlco".

[CoreySamson]

I really want to visit Guadongles and San Ant8nio. I also like the pseudo-states (autonomous regions like CHAZ?) of Beehie and Gowago.

I'm surprised that of all things it got Arkansas and Kansas right.

It sure feels like it with all those English speakers.

As a native Minnesotan, I have definitely called it "Minny" before.

[freebrickproductions]

It's a bit of a shame the Carolinas are cut-off, because it looks like they had some wonderfully butchered names.

Saskatchewan is a window into dyslexia.

Don't take medical advice from me, I'm from Alotoma.
