30 Unusual Maps People Shared On This Group That Might Change Your Perspective On Things (New Pics)
There’s a wonderful online community on Reddit that’s dedicated to beautiful, intriguing, and artistic maps that will wow you and make you see the world from a whole other perspective. As someone who loves doodling maps in my spare time, I’m in heaven. And even though our generous and benevolent social media overlords [cough cough] don’t allow us to mention the full name of the subreddit because of one particular word that it uses, make sure you visit the group, check out their latest maps, and maybe even become members yourselves, dear Pandas!
In the meantime, let’s enjoy some gorgeous and interesting maps, shall we? Remember to upvote your fave pics as you continue scrolling. In need of an extra mega map fix? You’ll find Bored Panda’s previous posts about the ‘Map [Whoops Can’t Mention That Word Here Anymore]’ community right here, as well as here.
We reached out to the founder and moderator of the subreddit, Patrick McGranaghan. He told Bored Panda all about how his passion for maps was first sparked, as well as how amateur cartographers can develop their sense of style and design to create better maps and do their imaginations justice.

In the early 70's, we used to fish at a lake in N.W. Wisconsin that had a bald eagle's nest. It was a huge deal at the time. I now live in Minneapolis and seeing a bald eagle is probably a weekly event. So great to see them bounce back.

Now if hunters would do three things: 1) used copper shot 2) track what they shoot 3) be better shots there would be even higher numbers. Lead poisoning is a terrible thing to see in a Bald Eagle or any raptor who eats carrion. And think of the suffering of the animal hunters shoot w/o tracking. Shame.

USA In Drawn In 3 Lines. Boundaries Marked With Gaps (The Best I Could)
KrabbyGramps666 4 years ago
My brain is seriously hurting after this one the illusion is crazy.
"I developed my passion for maps very early. My family traveled and moved around a lot. My dad taught me how to read maps and I would help him navigate. I used to flip through our Rand McNally atlas to pass hours traveling across the countryside. Maps are invitations to explore and visit new places. They give security in the knowledge that there's a way to get to your destination. If all else fails, a map will be your guide," Patrick shared how he first became acquainted with maps and how his passion grew. It hits close to home.
Patrick also reminisced about the moment he came up with the idea for the subreddit, back when he was living in a small flat in Taipei, in Taiwan. "I knew that I had a good idea and it felt almost electric. Like a fork in the road and your destiny is changing. When I moved back to the states I was able to find a career making maps (as a land surveyor) and I am grateful every day that I can do something that I love."

Grady'sRaider 4 years ago
Geodesy is the study of the shape and locations of things on the earth. The earth is a tri-axial oblate spheroid, not nice and round. Making maps can be done using a variety of projections from the center of the earth onto geometric surfaces that best fit the area to be mapped. Cylinders, cones, and flat planes. Mercator maps use a cylinder. Calculating where the position of a point on land will fall on a map surface is complicated. With todays computers and satellites, raw latitude and longitude are used rather than map coordinates to get around.
Doing what we love for a living is a godsend. And though everyone might be there, plenty of us have felt the 'electric' feeling that Patrick's talking about where genuine excitement meets the potential for greatness.
Even though a lot of the amateur cartographers found on the subreddit have great ideas and are overflowing with creativity, their execution needs work to make the end results look less "hasty and skeletal." Patrick explained that some people need to develop their tastes for style and design. Luckily, he had some helpful tips for you and me.
"It is not that they are bad, it's just that they don't know that they can make their maps so much better. I'm talking about things like fonts and information boxes, detail and vicinity maps, adding gradients to water features, thoughtful color choices, shadows behind place markers. The subtleties are what make maps exquisite," he detailed.

Why do people love maps? Because they’re aesthetic. Because they’re like picture books for adults. Because you can get lost in them for days and they awaken your sleeping desire to go on an adventure. Because they reveal a novel way of looking at life that we’re not used to. And because squiggly lines are fun to draw. Or at least these are all the reasons why I love cartography (yours might be different).

Just a few missing (tut, tut Google!) and Yorkshire is more than one county (just to make it challenging!), so you have: North Yorkshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. Then also, Cheshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire. Devon used to be called Devonshire but it is now only used as a nickname. I think 🤞 that's all of them!

The word shire derives from the Old English sćir, from the Proto-Germanic skizo (Old High German sćira), denoting an "official charge" a "district under a governor", and a "care". In UK usage, shire became synonymous with county, an administrative term introduced to England through the Norman Conquest, in A.D. 1066. In contemporary British usage, the word "counties" also refers to "shires", mainly in places, such as Shire Hall.
Timmy Pillinger 4 years ago
Ironically only two of the original 5 shires are coloured. The system was pioneered by the precursor kingdom Wessex, and spread to the rest of the country as the kings of Wessex became kings of England. Some modern counties represent entire early medieval kingdoms, such as Kent, Essex and Sussex.

That's true of most railway systems. As industry consolidated manufacturing many small town rail freight services became unprofitable. And as road travel became more practical, transport via trucks and busses caused passenger service demand to decline. Rail was orders of magnitude faster than horse-and-cart, regardless of how many lines the cargo had to go through. Once you had the option to send freight direct from A to B aboard trucks, the downfall of rail began.

As an Austrian, I would like to protest. Map Nr. 3 is wrong. While the dialect in the south is almost normal and becomes completely normal as soon as you cross the border to Austria, the dialect in the north is anything else but normal. We need subtitles to understand them.

Hehe, in the north, we don't have ANY dialect in some parts ... Hochdeutsch is spoken regularly in the daily life. But ... I don't really like bavarian dialects, but love the one from Vieann (called "Schmäh).

The Roman Empire vs. The Mongol Empire At Their Peaks
Ozacoter 4 years ago
To be fair a lot of the territories of the Mongol empire were very lowly populated while Rome conquered very populated areas. Management and conquest wise it makes a huge difference.
François Carré 4 years ago
You could also notice that Roman Empire was built in roughly 500 years and Mongol empire in roughly 50 years. But they were two completely different civilizations anyways. Sedentary VS nomadic. Farmers and urban dwellers VS shepherds and horse riding warriors. And of course, two completely different eras, 1000 years apart. Map comparison is still interesting though, to give an overview of the extent of historical influence these 2 empires had over the whole Old World.

Pitcairn is fascinating - the majority of Pitcairn Islanders are descended from the nine mutineers of the famous Mutiny on the Bounty and 18 Polynesians and one infant who arrived with the mutineers in 1790. Today there are about 50 people living there. There have been cases of widespread sexual abuse -particularly of young girls. Former mayor Steve Christian- a direct descendant of mutineer/ leader Fletcher Christian - was convicted of rape and child sexual abuse along with 6 other men in 2004.
PandaMonium 4 years ago
I mentioned the sexual abuse cases because other people brought it up in the comments, but there is a lot more to the Islands. Polynesians inhabited and then left the area before the Mutiny on the Bounty crowd settled it in 1790 - and as I said above, most of the Islanders descend from those settlers. Now it's a UK Territory and it looks like an absolutely beautiful place. Also the marine environment is extraordinary, and in 2015 the British Government decided to establish the largest marine reserve in the world around the Pitcairn Islands. Fascinating culture/ history/ ecosystem!

Where Boston Residents Own Cars vs. Where Boston Residents Get Hit By Cars
Lyone Fein 4 years ago
It would be simple to say that people drive more carefully closer to home. But if you are familiar with Boston you know that the areas in the upper right part of the map are the downtown area. So if you live there, you live in an apartment building. No space to own a car. At the same time, the traffic patterns are very congested and confusing like every urban downtown.......with a high amount of foot traffic. In the lower right areas, there are more houses, or even houses split into apartments, so a lower population density, more room to park on the streets and thus to own a car. The streets in these areas are often narrower, easy to cross, traffic moves more slowly, etc.

The mapmaker forgot Belize, Palau, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands which all use Fahrenheit. As for "precision" all that is meant is the smaller difference between individual degrees but most humans can't perceive that small a difference, especially with wind chill, so the point is moot. And, btw- when Fahrenheit invented his thermometer he was trying to compute a scale for measuring body temperature so he chose 100º but his thermometer was off so it when more accurate thermometers came along the 'normal' body temperature had to be back-scaled to 98.6ºF.
