I didn't realize how close they were to big cities all the time. No wonder there was always a crisis.
One thing i learned in Online survival games.
Stay away from major cities and monuments.
Yeah, that explains why they constantly had to deal with hordes, being so close to major metropolitan areas.
@@c0ntriL try single player, much better. Project Zomboid ;)
@@c0ntriLgets ptsd thinking about heading into DC for the first time in Fallout 3 as a 6th grader lmao
You'd have thought that after the first few times they'd be like "hey guys maybe we should just head out to the boonies"
Honestly, thank you for this. I’m not aAmerican and a lot of the geography just goes over my head. Like when Rick said “that’s a long trip”, I assumed he meant for apocalypse times but damn, that really is a long trip! So helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah even just going across Georgia or Virginia is a long trip so when they went from Georgia to Virginia it was a really long trip & when he went to the CRM it was an even longer trip lol I live in Alabama and just going from the west to the east side of the state is a pretty long trip
Hey Joey! Ever been to Muscle Shoals?
Yeah the US is really big, each state like a European country size. Place USA over Europe and wow -from Ireland & Spain all the way to Turkey, Ukraine and part of Russia.
I am American I don’t know geography
Don't feel bad, I'm American and I was confused too
It's awesome to get a visual idea of where all the communities we're at. Rick's story being told while mapping it out was awesome!!
Thanks! I spent hours trying to make it like it probably should be but then a few episodes later something throws it all off. Kingdom and Sanctuary should be closer to DC but it just didn't make sense as we go into All Out War and especially after Rick leaves - the snow episode throws everything for a loop.
@@TWDExplained I can only imagine the research to even get a general idea of geography. That's why you're the man and do what you do! 😁
I lived in every part of the Atlanta map. I even would wave to the Zombies when they filmed outside my art studio downtown Atlanta. Those were the good days.
It’s a little funny Woodbury was built and shot in senoia, GA. All buildings are still there and you can take a walking dead tour. It looks untouched.
Alexandria was literally a stone’s throw from Woodbury lol. They’ve torn down the walls and sold houses now.
@jpeterman9796 ok
Yep. I just left there. Alaxendra is a nice community with those houses and wall actually there.
I honestly had no idea all the virginia communities were so far apart. I thought those people were a stone throw's away from eachother
Especially since it would use so much fuel
@@Penguinrule12the filming never left Georgia. The sanctuary is on the backside of the old prison, and Alexandria is right down the street from woodbury.
Honestly that's one of the reasons the story after like season 5/6 took a big hit for me. It's kinda silly to imagine these people traveling almost 100 miles on a semi-regular basis. Especially when you get scenes in which characters just get out of the car when they were passengers and just saying they're gonna walk on their own.
I mean Culpeper to orange is like a 20 minute drive(like 30 miles), Culpeper to Fredericksburg is ~30 minutes(35miles)
so the area under sanctuary's rule isn't too far being a stone or two throws away
to Alexandria is ~80 miles maybe more depending on what roads you take and with best traffic maybe an 1 hour and a half. Walking would take days, but you could definitely sanctuary's area in a single day with no zombie run-ins from one community to the other.
@@unclebasil3489 its a show bro, we dont care about the travel as much as the story line u bugging
With their limited access to working vehicles, amazing they traveled as far as they did. Did take years to get out of Georgia.
I mean not really, it's like 10 hours drive from Atlanta to Washington, Darly going to France is much more ridiculous imo
@@INeatFreak It's a 10 hour drive... with functional highways and gas stations. Did you not watch the show at all? No gas except what hasn't evaporated and can be scavenged, and the highways are often clogged with cars and/or walkers. It is ludicrous to think they could make that trip, let alone the ridiculous trips that Morgan made later on. But yes, Daryl going to France was retarded.
@@INeatFreak You can sail from the US to France in a week in a homemade boat. People have done it many times.
They neevr once used cycles to move with speed anywere. Push bikes could cover 50 km a day on a good diet and in reasonable health @INeatFreak
@@DrBallSac only Rick in the season 1 lol
and lastly he went to the CRM base in philadelphia…the whole journey was so beautifully explained man! hats off!
TOWL journey coming soon!
hearing that intro music sure takes me back in time, wish i could erase the memory of watching twd and rewatch it over and over again.
5:01 Noah’s neighborhood was called Shirewilt, Wiltshire made a brief appearance in Season 2 when Andrea and Shane were out looking for Sophia.
good catch - Wiltshire was in the comic and I misspoke in the video - Thanks!
You should do Morgan next, it’d be funny to see you stretching across the map of the US😂😂😂
I may do one someday
@@TWDExplained Yep you should do morgan
Including just casually walking between Texas and Mississippi in FTWD Season 4 like it's nothing. lol
@@Logan912 🤣🤣🤣buns n thighs Morgan
CLEAR
It's cool to know they were all in Macon at one point where Lee is from, pretty cool
Would be cool to see a future adaptation of the Telltale games (at least Season 1).
Fun fact. The scenes at the CDC was film next to my office..It was crazy to tanks on my way to work
bet that was cool!
It’s really cool to see it completed! I can’t even imagine how much work that took. I know it’s not easy because show doesn’t do everything exact like it should. I really appreciate the work you put into this to give us such a unique perspective into this world we love!!
Maybe you can add Rick arriving at CRM & reuniting with kids at commonwealth and we can get those to locations added & completely end his journey.
I was going to add it in - but this took so long - I just wanted to get this up. Thanks for the patience - I know in the members version I said I would be done in March haha - I will do TOWL later
Oh, No Problem! I get it. It’s hard to put timetable on something like that.
@@TWDExplainedliterally 2 part series man. do it!!!
This is so satisfying as someone who's curious about travels, trips, and geology
In fact, I'm working on a TWD RPG campaign and this visualisation isba tremendous help in organising things in my head 😊
It's kind of cool seeing the majority of the show go through places I go through all the time
The series made the distance feel the opposite of how it was.
Seasons 1-4A felt like they traveled a lot when the hospital, the camp, Woodbury, the prision, Hershel's farm, Rick's house, the CDC and the place where they wanted to drop Randall were all "around the corner", being the Prision the farthest place so far.
Going to Terminus was the first long trip they made and after it, Atlanta and Alexandria, but those trips really feel the way and distance they were.
When they find Hilltop, The Kingdom, The Sanctuary and Oceanside, the series made it feel like they were around the corner when in fact, they were pretty far away, at some point it felt like the characters just randomly spawn in one of those places. It feels weird watching it on a map and figuring out how it really was.
So, the longest trips they made were:
From Atlanta to Richmond in season 5A
From near Macon (the prison) to Atlanta in season 4B
From Richmond to Alexandria in season 5B
All trips from Alexandria to any other place (Season 6B to the end of the series)
I live in West Central Georgia, so it's really fun seeing everywhere that Rick's group went, even if they are just hypotheticals
To remember the time when I watched the first TWD season is really good, 2014 was one of the best years of my life
This map really puts into perspective how far traveling actually was, and why so much gas was needed for every trip (and therefore, why wagons and horseback became the norm just a few years in). It also puts into scale just how large and powerful the Saviors were to be able to block off Rick and the group's many possible routes from Alexandria to Hilltop.
The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how on earth the Saviors came across Oceanside before ever even hearing about Alexandria.
OS was at a closer community when Simon killed the men - then the rest fled to OS to hide from the Saviors. The original community was much closer to the Sanctuary - it's where Cyndi killed Arat in Season 9.
its always good to get a travel journey on things like this cause i knew they had traveled a lot but man those distances, its not a quick trip to each colony, wel done
I'm watching the show now from the beginning, I'm at the part where they just took Noah to Virginia. It's really nice to be able to see the physical journey I've been watching them take especially since I started this show back in like 2010 - 2011
Boy I’m dumb. I thought the watermark in the top right corner was a lake on the map and I was thinking “is that a natural lake that just happens to be shaped like a zombie or did the Georgia government build a zombie shaped lake in honor of TWD?
haha that would be awesome though
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of the maps I've seen show Alexandria, Hilltop and the Kingdom being hundreds of miles from each other. This map makes more sense
Having a visual map really puts things into perspective because I had no idea the “long trip” with Noah was literally across many states. I’m Canadian so I never realized the distances they went through out the show and how far across the US they actually travelled 😮
See, this helped, cause there’s smthn that always bothered me:
Rick was at his home town, then went to Atlanta, then went to the camp, then they had to run and they went along some HUGE highway and ended up at that horde, then they went EVEN FARTHER and ended up at the farm, then they ran form that and kept running for nearly a year, throughout the whole winter, and they finally found the prison.
Makes sense so far, but then, when looking for weapons, Rick/Michonne/Carl are suddenly back at Rick and carls home town? How far did they travel during the near year time skip? Not long apparently.
They probably did alot of hunkering down in random houses/neighborhoods while looting them
You are a certified homie for making this! I give you the honer of being a legend within the Walking Dead fan base for making this video! 🥇
Thanks!
I remember how excited I was seeing Senoia, GA and Grantville, GA for the first time!
Fun fact: based on known statistics we know about the virus and survival rates, all of the zombies would have disappeared worldwide within about 6 months. With the low population areas where most of the show takes place probably within 6 weeks.
Yeah, in the comics in the final issue (which is a flash forward about decade or so) it's shown that the zombies had died out, and had become a rarity to find. I much prefer this ending rather than the show, but obvs they had to keep the zombies around for all the spin offs
@@jayess8714 but how can the zombies die out when people turn even when passing from natural causes?
untill they came to Virginia looked like theyve been moving in circle and got back in Atlanta in that hospitall xD
and even with all hat travelling, they still never managed to make it to fort benning lmao
@@billross9132 I think someone told them in the meantime that fort benning was gone cant remember
@@nightmarechains it was the 2 random dudes in the Nebraska ep, but I'm surprised rick believed them
I’ve been looking for something like this for so long. Thank you!
I enjoyed this very much! It’s funny to live where they actually filmed and see the map. Of course things are much closer than it appears.
The studios they built all over GA are very empty right now. I hope things pick back up. I would hate to see my city fail because it got too big for its britches. 🙂
The Georgia film tax credit is a big draw to the state for productions - now the strikes are over maybe things will get back going again.
It can't be too empty. I just saw downtown Conyers in that new movie Civil War. In that same movie I also saw that stretch of Ga-20 down in McDonough, you know the place. It was where they lost Sophia in TWD and where Columbus and Tallahassee meet in the movie Zombieland. I thought it was kind of funny how that stretch of road is always a traffic jam in some end of the world scenario.
So I’ve only watched this for 4:35 and I see where the problem was, Rick and the group just wouldn’t get away from the city 😂
I would like to see a similar format with: Fear the Walking Dead, and other branches of this universe, the video turned out to be very interesting!
Thanks for watching!
Finally I have been wondering about the geography of TWD since I first started the show back in 2022. Thank you for this video
I was always wondering where they were located in a real map since they were moving around a lot, great job explaining, Thank you!!🔥
When you realise in their journey to alexandria, they passed close enough from many other communities, lucky enough not to come across any of their members.
i mean season 5 rick before alexandria would have dealt with any threat at that time... The Group itself was DANGEROUS! Maybe Negan with 30+ People would have been able to stop them, but there would be no reason for them to come so random. Think about it maybe negan would have wanted to take them in because they were good survivors or sum like that. just a thought
Im so glad you made this, I was looking for something like this when I finished the show😂
It's interesting how they probably only filmed and based the series in Georgia for tax reasons, but as a result, the state pretty much became of the official home of the franchise (the first season of the TellTale game also took place entirely in Georgia, too.) It felt weird when they migrated north to Virginia 😭
Great work, quality stuff. I haven't really thought of where they travelled, especially after the first seasons. Interesting to see the routes!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Being from Virginia, tt's cool to think the war between Rick and Negan took place in my own backyard.
The filming locations in real life were all in Georgia, but yeah in the show it was Virginia
Thanks for the great work on this James! Not only a nice summary of the main events, but the map journey priceless 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it - and thank you very very much!!!!
Same
I remember them filming here and knew a bunch of friends that were zombie extras
Little fun fact:
Lee Everett (from the videogame) was being transported to the Meriwether County Correctional Facility for his crimes before the breakout, that's the same prision Rick and his group took in the comics.
Meanwhile, the prision from the show is called West Georgia Correctional Facility located, according to this video, near Macon Georgia, the place where Lee Everett comes from.
Thank u for this they were very close to big cities that's crazy love this ❤
You know living in the DC area the show never really feels like they're saying they're at. I get they probably filmed it all in Georgia soundstages but man they should do something to establish the locations. The George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Oldtown Alexandria, Regan National Airport, The Wilson Bridge, some establishing shot that pans the Pentagon and all the touristy memorials stuff in DC, anything.
they sometimes tried to put stuff in the far background - but I agree, some establishing shots and more care for what they were filming - instead we got a bunch of "eh, let's just go out into the woods again for this scene"
simplest solution to settle in an area with few walkers and having at least some lights on in the evening :
settle in a valley already providing a village with a natural water source, surrounded by steep hills, which itself is located in highlands.
climbing steep hills takes determination, precise movement and keeping eyes on target for up to hours at a time.
Walkers won´t do any of that without something to hunt, the low population would reduce that possibility down to no worries, and anyone nearby would not be attracted anyway cause lights are hard to see over hills if kept rather low.
It could not keep off marauders completely though, but it would provide natural fortification to a whole small community, which could defend itself by sheer numbers and knowledge of the area.
That´s where i would head to, early in an apocalypse. Up the hills to somewhere nobody ever cared about, as long as it has a roof and water, far away from the next real town.
sounds good - and if 3 sides were cliff like - even better
I do realize these places are all fictional and we're never given exact locations, but your map is still kind of off. If you look at the map they had on the show, Terminus was not in Macon. It looked as if the cannibals were set up in Roberta, which is west of Macon. Also, the few clues we're given about King County, it is North of Atlanta and not west. For one thing, Rick said he was coming into town on Highway 85. That's not Interstate 85. Atlanta has a lot of roads coming into it. There is both a Highway and Interstate 85, and even more confusing, the same is true for 20 as well.
Thats one hell of a work, appreciate that man. Now it would be cool if you make another video about rick after the bridge🙏✊
@1:13 When Rick first goes to Atlanta he starts on I85 but he must get detoured as when he arrives at Atlanta he's approaching from the east on the Freedom Parkway not from the south
true - maybe he swung around in a half circle and approached from the east ??
@@TWDExplained Probably more likely just an oversight but in my head canon that's likely what happened
@@TWDExplainedit is true , you just made an inaccurate map and guessed correctly that most people are dumb and will believe anything . And no , I’m not gonna do one …but if you are …stop misleading people. That’s misinformation and dishonesty. You’re the lowest of low when it comes to content creators. Karma will get you .
Thanks for putting this together, really good work here my friend.
Meanwhile Daryl is going on a globetrotting adventure
I am working on a Daryl map
This is fantastically well done.
Funny part is..the quarry is close to my home in NW Atlanta. It's a park part of the beltline now
God this was such a great video, great synopsis without dragging it out too much. You truly have a talent, keep it up brother. You just earned a subscriber.
I appreciate that!
Amazing video! It's funny I am seeing this right after getting home from a trip where we drove this exact route from GA to Virginia! Though the drive to our destination was much further so longer. It took 18 hours, I can't even imagine the apocolypse travel time 💀
Very cool!
I went to Senioa, Georgia and found it funny that Alexandria is ten feet away from Newbury in real life.
Okay the groups trip to virgina makes sense why they are so dead by the end of it (ignore the pun). Also up until terminus they really dont move much 😅 kinda makes you wonder why they never heard of em before the prisions downfall, like no runner saw anything on any supply run? Yeeeeeaaaah suuuuure
Amazing job! Puts everything into a much better perspective! Thank you so much for your work!
this is awesome. only thing is the kingdom clearly supposed to be in dc or arlington, at one point you can see arlingtons skyline in the background
I agree - I spent hours and hours trying to make that work - but it just doesn't - maybe we can all make the video better and I can re-do it - Hilltop is in between The Kingdom and Alexandria, and was clearly shown on a map in the show to be where it is. I had to make adjustments to make what they did in the show work. (They left Kingdom in the winter snow heading to Hilltop and had to stay at Sanctuary, etc. The bridge cut off Sanctuary and Kingdom from the rest, etc.
All the DC “suburbs” feature high rise office buildings due to a weird height limitation placed on DC itself, something about how the Washington Monument can’t be visually obstructed by a building higher than 9 stories. Tysons Corner, Arlington, Bridgewater, Great Falls, etc all have visible skylines. Meaning the kingdom could be somewhere in northern VA between hilltop in culpeper and Alexandria. Maybe Fairfax? Lot of possibilities.
Been waiting years for this video
bruh them trips from alexander to hill top had to take atleast 3-5 days each on foot
amazing job man! now imagine some kind of mmofps with this lore !
This is amazing James! Wow...it's wild to see it all mapped out....This is impressive, FANTASTIC job.!! 👍
Thanks JoJo!!!
@@TWDExplained Thank YOU!! 😊
its crazy how 90% of twd takes place within a hour drive from where i live i could see my hometown on the map the entire time lol
Thank you for this it’s done really well
Awesome video,James! Thanks so much for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Grady Memorial hospital, you would think they there would mention a building blew up in huge flames. Giving the fans a Easter egg to season 1.
I never realized how far the communities actually were from each other
Gabriel's church is northeast from Atlanta, its location is shown on the map Abraham gives Rick, but you did a good job I don't think they wrote the show in a way that reflects real geography it's kind of alt reality Georgia lol
Thank you and yes, you are correct! Gabe's church should be Northeast of Atl.
The 2nd part showing Sanctuary and Kingdom - they should be closer to DC but I couldn't get it to work out based on some clues from the show. I do want to get it more correct if I can - but you are also correct the way they wrote the show is bonkers when it comes to trying to make a map.
I am working on a corrected map (with red path's in Georgia instead of the hard to see yellowish colored dots) - and Rick's continued journey in The Ones Who Live added.
This was pretty cool. I couldn’t imagine traveling through several states in an apocalypse.
I live in SE MI… if anything happened like this, I’d either stay put or head to the UP, where there’s not a lot of people. Surrounded by fresh water, lots of vehicles, lots of natural resources (fish, deer, rabbits, vegetation…). There’s a reason why the Native Nations were able to hold Michigan for a lot longer than many other places. There’s advantages to being an inland peninsula.😊
There’s also several small islands that would be relatively easy to get to as well.
Yeah… I’m weird as is my family. 😂
surviving is surviving
2:00 look in the bottom midle... somewhere called Gay KEKW
you can tell negan was obsessed with rick, why else would he willingly drive all that distance to alexandria every 5 minutes
i never realized how close they are to where i live currently. I live in springfield, VA. i always thought the alexandria base wasn’t actually near alexandria but ig i was wrong. plus i’ve passed by the quary they went to
This was awesome! I've always wondered where the group traveled to. Great video idea.
Rick's biggest mistake was agreeing to take out the SAT Outpost. Jesus used him and it cost Rick
Wow that's crazy I didn't know that the walking dead canonically appeared all over where I lived near Macon and Forsyth and other places so close and nearby
Crazy how the Farm was close to Rick's house all the time and before the apocalipse
Great video James, this was a lot of fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks!
What I never realized is that Rick was only in the coma for WEEKS and Lori gave it up to Shane? Absolutely wild.
That is how it seemed to play out - theories/explanations going round...
maybe they were 'fooling around' or flirting with each other even before? -
and then Lori states that the world had just fell apart, she thought Rick was dead, and the life seemed to leave her also, she felt dead like the ones walking around, she had one quickie with Shane to just feel something to feel alive again
Tyreese's death messed me up big time for some reason, I remember that episode being really emotional. I'm glad he didn't get the Hershel death like in the comics.
they brought back a bunch of the characters for his death - I liked the character
The realization of how short of a drive my childhood home was from Rick's home. 💀
They weren’t far from Stone Mountain… I wonder if Jake The Snake Roberts survived 🐍
If you think about it, it's crazy how literally nothing happened on his journey right at the start, from Newnan all the way to Atlanta, that was a long ass journey. They could probably make a prequel about that alone
All this got me wondering, they walked right past all those other groups of people on their journey north, right before Aaron found them not far outside Alexandria. If they had decided not to go with Aaron and kept going north past Alexandria. Negen never would of killed Glen >.> cause they'd of never met by the stroke of luck that they were already passed the saviors base and were heading north before Aaron came along. I also find myself pondering the What If's
yep - lot's of possible 'what if's'
This is what I call a high quality video. Thank you for this!
Wow, thanks!
bro just think about how much was happening at the same time all over the US. It's just crazy how many "stories" are happening simultaneously and probably some much crazier situations
Yep - they could do stories all day long about the TWDU - at any point in time
It's so strange that Oceanside is closer than Hilltop. It always seemed like Oceanside was a long journey.
the locations are speculative because the show never stayed true to "time it took to get somewhere" or exact locations of everything. We did get a map in the show, showing where Hilltop was located.
This is so good and so helpful!! Loved seeing this 😊
Thanks Brooke!
Very cool, thank you for this. I live in FL, but still it was a great continuous visual of their arduous journey from GA to VA, and EVERYTHING in between. I’ve been to Senoia a few times and it’s such an amazing place to see where it was all filmed. TWD is the best series EVER. The story isn’t finished yet!! Daryl/Carol/Maggie still doing it!!!❤ 🧟🧟♀️🧟♂️
Amazing content! Keep it up
Appreciate it!
One mistake i realized right at the start is he says he is going to atlanta down Highway 85, you have him going down the 285 access highway
1:27 if Rick had done the smart thing and headed away from the big city then he would have never found his family. When he should have gone south, he went north.. I wonder what the show would be like if we had to wait longer for Rick to find his family.
funny that in real life almost all of the communities and locations such as hilltop, hershels farm, prison and woodbury as well as alexandria are at the same area and it is Senoia.
Would be an interesting vacation route
Been waiting
been waiting on this.awesome!!
Thanks - it's got flaws - but hard to pinpoint. Kingdom should be around Arlington - but just would not hold up as more clues show up. Maybe with community input we can make it even better!
Hey you can not get closer than what you did. Top notch.
really good video brother! I didnt think that Alexandria was closer to Oceanside than it is to Hilltop. Shit blew my mind, allong with some other stuff in this video! Really put it into perspective. Great video !
Thanks very much - I'll have a updated version out this month with TOWL included!
I would love to see the animated timeline for the spinoffs to! It would be interesting to see how close they actually are to eachother especially because for example some people from Twd end up in ftwd
That's a lot of fuel needed to go back and forth the different communities.
