Examining Interesting Maps Part 2 

😂😂😂

Better cover your ass then if you're there.

You mean 5.9 FUTURE popes?

@@rebeccaturner1123 the Vatican is 0.17 square miles so 1 Pope / 0.17 square miles = 5.9 pope/square mile

@@ianhernandez533 you could also consider the fact that the current pope (Francis), and Benedict XVI both live in the Vatican since he resigned, and say there are 12 popes per square mile.

And if you’re Mormon, then you believe that the garden of eden was in Jackson County, MO

heres somthing weird im from Wayne Co IN with citys around called Ricmond and Winchester go to Wayne Co KY its the same town names

Aye I’m from Jackson county Ohio

You’re close to me then. I’m in Meigs County, OH.

Hello fellow West Virginian

How many are there in Pennsylvania and Missouri? I know there's an Iowa County, WI but that's it from Wisconsin.

@@cameronkohlmann5496 Indiana County, PA

Missouri has Mississippi, Oregon, Texas, and Washington (as well as Dallas) Counties.

@@jameseberts2376 and Delaware and Washington make four.

Thanks, I missed Delaware.

Took me a while to notice Delaware... but Alaska and Hawaii aren't missing - they aren't contiguous states to start with.

@@rickelleman6613 Exactly! That was throwing me off big time. It's "contiguous" states, meaning the Lower 48. The title of the map is "The Contiguous 41 States" which leave 7 states missing, not 9. And as mentioned earlier, they are, Nebraska, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Kansas.

These kinds of maps are great; I missed the Dakotas, which is understandable, but how did I miss PA???

@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music not sure how you missed them, when they were in the block with Nebraska and Kansas

Pro trick : watch series on Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies lately.

@Ezekiel Kieran yea, I have been watching on KaldroStream for since december myself :D

I didn't see Pennsylvania and Delaware. Was trying to figure that one out

Damn I didnt get Nebraska.

Yep, I got’em all too

I kept missing Pennsylvania everytime i looked. :D

I missed Pennsylvania so many times😂 They did a really good job hiding the differences though

Thank you! It's been pretty crazy growth the past month or so.

@@GeographyKing great to see!

Yeah, I noticed too! When I subbed you were at 10k, but now you're nearly at 60k! I think the reason might be the largest geography channel, geography now, which has 2 million subscribers, just went on a long hiatus and thus all the thirsty geographers came flocking to your channel :D Perfect timing, I was missing my geography videos :P

Hey my dude! I too, was and continue to be overly obsessed with maps since my Jr. Kindergarten year taken on a 1999 road trip from London ON, Canada to Disneyland, Florida. Only difference is that after taking 3 years to start speaking, I suddenly flourished with art & literature which led me to even draw my own urban community maps by the time I learned to quietly draw them alone in some corner trying to block out all the abusive screaming around me, think at age 6 after being sent alone on a plane across Canada! Around 11 years old was when freedom allowed to actually explore the Toronto neighbourhoods on my map, which soon led to my nearly 6 year "Golden Age" with the graffiti scene- staring, studying, researching, planning, more staring, exploring, painting, highlighting and stroking every cumdrop from my teenage ego as many maps I had "racked" (stolen) began to slowly mark my artistic kingdom of various calligraphic claims and patiently painted walls. At my peak, I'd estimate that 6 hours of my day was spent planning & fantasizing these thrillingly reckless solo adventures based on the community's road grid and later Google Street View. Now the older I become, all the more maps are being discovered, some more fabulous than others but that damn life road map hasn't shown up anywhere yet! :) Thanks for reading my sporadically spilt short strife story: (Rasponer's) Map Edition.

Same. I got obsessed with Europe and memorized where each country is and the name and place of its capital

@@Ad-qt8lx so glad I am not the only one, everyone thought I was weird because I could read and memorize maps but I could not read and retain the information from what I read. Even at age 50 I struggle reading but can look at a map and spit out information others can not see on the map.

I think my grandfather opened a can of worms, I too was a little reading and comprehension challenged, I'm almost 60 now. But my grandfather opened a few maps talking about his road trips he was taking in his pre-retirement years, teaching me how to calculate time and mileage between cities and how to total them up, it did serve me well when I was in the military, I couldn't afford flights home for leave except for Christmas, so I drove, I had the trips calculated so tight that I hardly ever needed lodging to go halfway across the country, I knew where to stop so I avoided rush hour, and sun in my face, and even gas stops were planned, clear to the point where I would avoid states where gas prices were so high.

I too am autistic and obsess over maps

He all the sudden has been growing a lot

Is there really such thing as an uninteresting map?

nah g

True

@@cosmicnomad8575 If there is one, I bet Kyle could find it being the geography nerd that he is.

I want you to examine a topographic map of Kansas

Thank you! I'm glad you found the channel. I'll try to keep it up.

@@GeographyKing you have grown a lot quick.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos!

Also I believe GA has them all, again just a small thing :)

@CommandoDude Okay liberal.

@CommandoDude And then you realize only 23% of the total US population voted for Biden and that arguing about which old you want to fuck you over is really stupid.

Some good spots near me in Pennsylvania, probably state or national forests, also some parts of the Adirondacks, all good places to visit

Thank you! There's definitely been a lot of growth lately.

You sound like good people

I'm in good company here.

Hey I’m reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice right now 📕

@@ethantaylor1844 Right on. Jane Austen was the original female smartass!

Aaaaahhh! I forgot about AK and HI and spent far too long trying to come up with the last two. Hahaha.

Ok that’s dumb I was thinking nine were missing not seven.

He should have credited XKCD

@@markbollinger1343 9 are missing

Spoilers NM, ND, SD, NE, KS, PA, DE, DC.... what else am I missing?!?!?

I hear you and agree!

Same

Yeah it's been pretty wild over the past month or so!

@@GeographyKing I subscribed in the summer and you had about 2k subscribers

🇦🇷😎

I'd rather get lost in la plata than Boston

Thank you! It came as quite a surprise

I'll add to those congratulations, Kyle! Have been enjoying the channel and like its recent spike in viewers and subs! Go get 'em! 🎉🍻🗺️ 😎

That proves what I've been thinking for years, Delaware is the most forgettable state. Im from the northeast and still got stumped on that one.

how the fuck did I miss Pennsylvania. (I figured out the rest)

No idea Hawaii and Alaska were supposed to be included in those 9. Here I was scratching my head on which two states I couldn't remember 🤦‍♂️

@@speedy01247 ME TOO!

How did I miss new mexico, they're my neighbor :0

Been to the Phoenix metro area one time on vacation. I like the grid system.

I live near Detroit. It bears the good ol' Freemason layout.

Arizona near the CA / NV border reported 125 last week. Every thermometer in town, every backyard thermometer was above 130. When it is that hot, there is no wind chill and 8% humidity is brutal.

I live in a drier state, but I was thinking exactly this. 109°F in the FL humidity would be MISERY.

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

Genuine question, would someone from La Plata kill you if you called it a suburb of Buenos Aires?

@@sanderappel4499 well not kill you, but La Plata is a complete different thing from Buenos Aires. For example you have CABA (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires), that's just the autonomous city itself, and then you have AMBA (Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires) that's the metropolitan area wich includes some parts right next to CABA, and then there's GBA (Gran Buenos Aires) and that's basically AMBA + the "conurbano" wich I think it could translate to te suburbs surrounding it. Then it comes Gran La Plata, wich borders Gran Buenos Aires, and inside Gran La Plata there's the city of La Plata. Oh btw, all of that it's inside the Buenos Aires Province. I know, a hell of a mess, like most mega cities I guess. Hope o was clear enough, but there's actually some maps that show CABA, AMBA, GBA, and GLP side by side to get an idea, basically it increases step by step in area but they're separate areas.

@@gonzavazquez3752 Oh don't worry, I'm a geography nerd so I get the distinction between city, conurbation, metropolitan area erc. I'm reading a book about Argentinian football right now, and I was indeed getting very much the impression that La Plata would not want to be affiliated with Buenos Aires

When was La Plata designed?

@@sanderappel4499 Yeah, I never saw someone actually referring to La Plata as part of Buenos Aires to be honest. It's pretty clear for us, that's why I guess. But I bet they wouldn't like to be affiliated with Buenos Aires lol

Welcome to the channel!

How is that Unexpected? The pope, from the time Italy formed as a nation to Mussolini, saw himself as a prisoner in his own castle. Remember Italy wasn't always OK with having an independent nation reside WITHIN their capital city.

I worked in emergency management for several years. I worked in both South Carolina where I dealt with hurricane and flooding preparedness and also Monterey CA where it was earthquake and wildfire preparedness. I also wrote the tsunami evacuation plan for Monterey. My geography degree has a specialization in physical geography/climatology. I'm going to be posting a video soon about studying geography and what you can do with a geography degree

Connecticut, too.

And New Hampshire

I saw that map on Reddit

Didn't think Alaska and Hawaii were in the list so for about 5 minutes I was like which remaining two states I just can't figure out lol

🥇🗺️👍🏼

that'd actually be Tom Brady

Kids leave a rusty tin can and some fence posts out for the Christmas goat.

Thank you!

@@GeographyKing BTW, BOC Secret Treaties that you have on your wall was the very last vinyl LP record album that I ever bought!! In 1989! Also my wife has that exact same gecko sculpture but hers is green!

Secret Treaties is probably my favorite of their albums, especially the last three songs.
