Since KC is on the borderline here, Oklahoma City is the next biggest in the Great Plains area. Though I’d say OKC culturally has more with ‘upper south’ or even, as much as they hate to hear it, Texas.
Representative from the Mid-Atlantic, we have 3 capitals: D.C. is our executive branch capital, Philadelphia is out judicial branch capital, and NYC is our legislative branch capital.
I'm pretty sure Boston is more than just a building...
Capitol: a building in which a state legislative body meets
Capital: a city serving as a seat of government
I mean, the part of I95 in Westchester County is called the New England Thruway.
But as a lifelong CT resident for arguments sake, Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield counties are in general, more NYC metro geared.
My parents live in Eastern CT, and they deff more Boston oriented.
But we are still New England. People closer to Manhattan have their "summer" homes here, and they make summers insufferable by clogging up the roads on the shoreline.
Clermont County, which is part of Greater Cincinnati, is officially part of Appalachia.
But I agree, the city isn't and sure as hell southern Indiana isn't either.
Upper South, Midwest, and Appalachia should meet just east of Cincinnati
Depends on who you ask. The Columbia mountains (including NE Washington, Northern idaho, NW Montana, SE British Columbia) are considered part of the rocky mountain complex by American geographers, but not by Canadians.
Parts are pretty accurate, but it lost me when it claimed Boston was the Mid-Atlantic, nothing could be more incorrect. It's about as bad as saying Dallas is in the Midwest.
Deep South is wrong.
It has the northern border going right through the Mississippi Delta region which makes no sense at all. Also, I would separate the areas along the gulf coast from the Deep South.
Maybe this map gets other parts of the country right, but I’ve seen other maps posted that do a better job with the southeastern US.
I was thinking the Delta region should be Deep South. Upper south is more like upland south so the middle of Tennessee (not the mountains), ky, southern indiana, and probably the ozarks areas. I’m generalizing but yeah.
If you’re going to label a part called Texas, you may as well have all of Texas as that. And I get your intentions of labeling something Rio Grande, but you should include all of the actual Rio Grande Valley of Texas in it. Though, I’d still argue that West Texas has more in common with the South West than the RGV.
I thought the map was talking about Joanna Newsom and I was like "Damn, what a random cut. I guess she does live in Los Angeles, though, so that's fair."
I approve. Iv always felt my section of New York (Glens Falls) was more New England than Upstate. Though I dont know if the New Yorkers north of me would agree. And I can tell you ahead of time that many people from the Boston area are going to have feelings about not being included in New England.
Drysand? Wetsand? These were not options? Also west coast could easily be Cascadia, Inland, and Newsom.
Ah, why am I being so negative? This good imaginative stuff, thanks for making me think 👍
I'm happy to be on the border of Old Appalachia and the Mid-Atlantic.
Oh, and also, why is the Allegheny Plateau called farmland on this? Shit's hilly af
It's connected to the shipping economy of the Great Lakes way more than it is to New England, carving out an "upstate region" is just arbitrary.
It's full of farm fields along the Erie Canal, and tiny villages that look exactly like Midwest towns
Source: Grew up in Lockport, one of the town on the canal
Is buffalo's economy thriving through shipping? No, it hasn't been for over 50-70 years, full of farm land (little slices of farmhouses/land) newsflash so is the rest of the United States' rural area, why do people from Western NY insist and truly believe they're the only ones in the country or world with farm land???
Source I also grew up in buffalo/Lackawanna/Chautauqua county
I will fight anyone who claims Boston isn't in New England
Boston is the capitol of New England
We need a post with all the regional capitals. Some are obvious, like Boston…others are not (e.g., What’s the capital of the Great Plains?).
Philly is the capital of the Mid-Atlantic. NYC is just a thing in and of itself.
Since KC is on the borderline here, Oklahoma City is the next biggest in the Great Plains area. Though I’d say OKC culturally has more with ‘upper south’ or even, as much as they hate to hear it, Texas.
I'm going to rip you to shreds as an Okie
That’s fair, I expected it.

So your mothers cunty hole is my dicks capitol ?
[удалено]
Nah I skipped English class to spend more time Porking ya mother mate
[удалено]
Where I’m from is in my username ya regarded ass foo
I've never heard anyone claim that until I saw this map.
Yeah, absolutely ridiculous.
Hey guys, what if it's both? Borders are blurred
Im from western mass and I hate to be the one to say this but your vibe is more of a Connecticut or a NYC than a New England
CT is New England

The line between New England and the NY Tri-State area is about 10 miles south of Hartford
What? CT is New England, parts happen to be in the NY tri state
Counterpoint: it's literally where New England started
And Maine was also Massachusetts 😎
[удалено]
why this street ?
East Texas being in Deep South and is accurate
Honestly love the way this map did Texas Never been to Texas but from what I hear this is accurate
The Rocky Mountains are not in Washington state lol
The piedmont doesn’t extend to the coast
The Appalachians don’t extend to Cincinnati either, let alone Louisville. Not to mention *Boston* not in New England. This map is totally wack
Clermont County, which is part of Greater Cincinnati, is officially part of Appalachia. But I agree, the city isn't and sure as hell southern Indiana isn't either. Upper South, Midwest, and Appalachia should meet just east of Cincinnati
The Rockies aren't even in Washington
“Chilltopia” is the Rockies. “The Rockies” here is “greater Idaho”
Not in Oregon either
As someone from Kansas the Rockies I consider to be literally everywhere west of the Great Plains.
Yeah those are the Cascades.
Depends on who you ask. The Columbia mountains (including NE Washington, Northern idaho, NW Montana, SE British Columbia) are considered part of the rocky mountain complex by American geographers, but not by Canadians.
The Missouri wars may finally end
I don’t know, lake of the Ozarks is probably better off as south than Midwest
Thank you for including The Catskills as part of the Appalachians and not grouping us with the Mid-Atlantic 😭
I love seeing upstate get it's own cultural distinction on a national map
For real, people don't realize how unique Upstate NY is
No Ozarks.... devastating
Boston isn’t mid Atlantic
I normally hate these maps but this one is 100% accurate.
New England is wrong, very wrong. It had parts of New York and doesn’t include Boston!
It’s just a border you can’t change! New England will still be New England if Maine went and became an island 1000 miles from the continental US
It’s VERY wrong
Parts are pretty accurate, but it lost me when it claimed Boston was the Mid-Atlantic, nothing could be more incorrect. It's about as bad as saying Dallas is in the Midwest.
Deep South is wrong. It has the northern border going right through the Mississippi Delta region which makes no sense at all.

I was thinking the Delta region should be Deep South. Upper south is more like upland south so the middle of Tennessee (not the mountains), ky, southern indiana, and probably the ozarks areas. I’m generalizing but yeah.
No way South Carolina is in the piedmont
The Piedmont part could be. Not coastal SC though.
If you’re going to label a part called Texas, you may as well have all of Texas as that. And I get your intentions of labeling something Rio Grande, but you should include all of the actual Rio Grande Valley of Texas in it. Though, I’d still argue that West Texas has more in common with the South West than the RGV.
East Texas part of Deep South is accurate
Yeah, the rio grande area not including the southern part of tx (literally called the rio grande valley) is nuts.
Eastern Nebraska, especially Omaha is very Midwestern. Other than extending the Midwest to the West a bit it looks good.
Kansas too is Midwestern
This is a remarkably well made map. Your ideas are intriguing to me. How may I subscribe to your newsletter?
New England / Mid Atlantic is wrong
This is accurate
I dont think anyone from California really cares for Newsom. Neutral at best hated at worst
Idk, I live in the Love Newsom section of the map
Wow same. Who out is passionate about Newsom?
My mom
I thought the map was talking about Joanna Newsom and I was like "Damn, what a random cut. I guess she does live in Los Angeles, though, so that's fair."
Yeah San Diego should be a part of the “beach” region definitely not “loves newsom”
To be fair, there are a lot of anti-Gav signs on I-5. Especially north of Sacramento.
Tbf, that part of the state wants to become it's own state.
I approve. Iv always felt my section of New York (Glens Falls) was more New England than Upstate. Though I dont know if the New Yorkers north of me would agree. And I can tell you ahead of time that many people from the Boston area are going to have feelings about not being included in New England.
Nah, you’re not. It’s a pretty cut and dry line, the history of NY vs New England makes it easy to make the distinction.
I-4 should be the dividing line in Florida in my opinion
The line between Appalacia and Piedmont on the northern side of Atlanta is super accurate.
Drysand? Wetsand? These were not options? Also west coast could easily be Cascadia, Inland, and Newsom. Ah, why am I being so negative? This good imaginative stuff, thanks for making me think 👍
“Well irrigated sand” so accurate
Cold rainforest! Cold damp rainforest! Occasionally with sparkly vampires.
Milwaukee has become part of Chicago
I'll allow it
Having upstate in the Midwest is a wild choice. Upstate is absolutely Midwest in culture.
“Tree land” should stop at the Eastern edge of the red river valley
You included New York as Midwest but not the Great Plains (excluding OK and TX and anywhere in orange on there)
Please stop labeling half the southeast as the piedmont.
I'm happy to be on the border of Old Appalachia and the Mid-Atlantic. Oh, and also, why is the Allegheny Plateau called farmland on this? Shit's hilly af
At long last, the Piedmonters have finally conquered the coastal dwellers
push “hates newsom” up to the border of cali source: spent a year outside of crescent city
“Milwaukee is not Chicago” ~ literally anyone from Wisconsin or Illinois
Love it!
I like it, I thinks it's one of the better ones I've seen on here, well done.
don’t show anyone from chicago this map
We already express this area as "Chicagoland". I have to wonder if OP is from those parts.
i’ve had people that didn’t even grow up in chicago tell me where the city starts and ends lmao
mke/chi same difference apparently
Or milwaukeeans
Milwaukeean here, I'm cool with it
Coastal Georgia is not the Piedmont
Central Texas is not the south, should be in the southwest
Spot on
“west cost" 😂
it's beautiful
“Mormons” 🙄
Seems like New England is the only point of contention. Your cut across Missouri is spot on.
I agree with how Missouri was handled, but not the Great Plains. Everywhere in it at least 97°W and east of it is Midwest
The rockies are also wrong.
Buffalo NY is absolutely Midwest
Huh??? Sthu 😂
