Alright, you got me. Me Massachusetts, me sees Massachusetts, me clicks. -the insights of an average Bostonian vol. 3
Yes same lol. Wicked smaht
I love Massachusetts like it’s going out of style
Same tho
I’ve fallen in love with MA, my dad’s side of the family is all from sandwich, which is near cape cod. New england just has a totally different vibe from the rest of the country it’s weird but i like it, i’m gonna move to a new england state that’s legal for mary jane lmfao
Is it true the M in Massachusetts makes a T sound?
Here's a Massachusetts fun fact while we're at it: That bit sticking out of Massachusetts and eating a part of Connecticut is called the Southwick Jog! Why does it exist? Good question! In 1642 Massachusetts hired two surveyors, Nathaniel Woodward and Solomon Saffery, to survey the boundary between that colony and Connecticut. However, the point they established as the western end of the line was disputed by Connecticut and ultimately found to be eight miles too far south. To complicate matters, the citizens of Enfield, Somers, Suffield and Woodstock, unhappy with Massachusetts' high taxes, applied for admission into Connecticut in 1724.
These towns claimed they were included within Connecticut's original boundaries and were entitled to return to that state. Naturally, Massachusetts refused to give them up, but in 1749 Connecticut voted to acquire them. In 1793, both states appointed Boundary Commissioners to run a straight boundary from Union, Connecticut to the New York state line. In 1797 the Commissioners recommended that a disputed 2.5 square mile tract be awarded to Massachusetts as compensation for its earlier losses of Suffield, Woodstock, Somers, and Enfield to Connecticut. However, it was not until 1804 that Connecticut agreed to yet another compromise that partitioned the 2.5 mile area at Congamond Lakes with Massachusetts receiving 5/8 of the disputed parcel along the west shore and Connecticut receiving the remainder, along the east shore.
A primo example showing the connection of history with geography.
For geography nerds like us, I find it encouraging that other folks are trying new things and creating their own experiments with maps and data. Visualization is an important skill set and this practice is positive and enabling.
That's some Alaska erasure there on the NHL map. My boy Swayman from Anchorage needs more goalie hugs!
It's kinda funny how easy it was to spot Hampus and Pasta's homes
Also how easy it was to find carlo too lol
Hey fellow Bruins fan! I love Sway!
It’s hard to tell how long ago the map was made cause the map was outdated by some other players too. Tarasenko was still a Blues player.
that's buchnevich, Tarasenko is from yaroslavl and you can see a bit of a rangers logo poking out@@Colyde25
1:13 Suggestion, for you or the person who created the Dunkin Donuts map: I would be interested in seeing a comparison of densest saturation areas of all the major fast food chains. Like where is McDonald's most heavily saturated compared to Taco Bell or Chik-fil-A. 👍😊
This is an excellent idea!
I'd like to see Hardee's and Carl's Jr. on the same map.
I’d like to see KFC vs Popeye’s
Here in Utah it’s DEFINITELY Taco Bell lol.
I was about to say I'd love to see a map of PA and NJ showing locations 10 minutes from a Wawa
I wonder if the lower income residents close to the beaches are people who bought their homes 40-50+ years ago. That is what has happened in places like Santa Monica and Huntington Beach. My best friend's house in Santa Monica was a few blocks from the beach, but his parents bought it in the 1960s for $24,000. He sold it for $2 million last year after his parents passed away.
That's probably the case. I see people that look very "low class" or even like outright crackheads, but they're living in a decent house. It's always older folks, so I presumed this was basically it... They got it when it was dirt cheap.
Also understand that in California, those houses bought 40-50 years ago would be paying MUCH lower property taxes than any newer sale. Property tax is capped at 2% a year meaning meaning their $24k home may of had a tax basis of under $100k. Florida caps at 10% which would put their basis well into the millions.
@@MrCho14 yeah my friend's parents house in Santa Monica had annual property taxes of just under $2000 last year.
Can't imagine biking on a Montana interstate with vehicles passing you at 80+ mph!
I did a bicycle tour through that state, I had more harrowing, close calls with drivers playing chicken trying to show me the upper hand, beautiful state but dismal appreciation from the motorists, California is a close second for me regarding drivers trying to intimidate bicycle riders
@@levinpugsley9256couldn’t agree more when it comes to the motorist statement! Had the cruise control set on 85 and let’s just say trucks coming towards my lane cause I “blocked” them from passing me cause my speed I was NOT pleased
@@levinpugsley9256monta has little peoole what are you talking about🤦🏽♂️🤬
It’s fair to say in Montana you’ll see another car like once every 3 hours
I went on a road trip that passed though MT this summer. As a native NYer and a current NC resident, the high speed limits were cool and the speeders were quite a sight to see!
Dunkin' Donuts was founded in Massachusetts, so of course it makes they're an iconic part of the state's culture! It was founded by Bill Rosenberg in Quincy in 1950. At first, Bill Rosenberg opened Open Kettle in 1948 but he changed the name to Dunkin' Donuts two years later, and it is rumored that an Executive Architect came up with the name, inspired by the idea of dunking donuts into coffee. This was of course a successful idea, and Rosenberg sold franchises to others starting in 1955. But the story gets even more interesting as in 1955, Bill worked with his brother-in-law Harry Winokur. After Winokur broke his partnership with Rosenberg, he went on to create Mister Donut with his son-in-law David Slater that same year.
This became so successful that they too started franchising, and after International Multifoods Corporation bought them in 1970, they opened locations outside North America like in Japan, and today Mister Donut is one of the most popular brands in Japan. However, after Dunkin' was acquired in 1990 by Allied Lyons, Dunkin' acquired Mister Donut and took over the Mister Donut locations in North America, which is why they Mister Donut is still around in Asia. In 2020, Dunkin', Baskin-Robbins, and Mister Donut became part of Inspire Brands.
On the Palm Beach County map I think that the income nearest the coast is lower because those people are retired and their income is low. That’s not saying that their net worth is not sky high. For instance, you can have a nest egg of $3M but your SS and other retirement accounts might only bring in $5000 a month.
Maps are my favorite. Wish you would do more of these.
Massachusetts has so many great GIS developers
that's great i went to Mass about 20 years ago , all the way out to Glouster and some cities had a Dunkin and another Dunkin would be across the street ..almost as if one dunkin wasn't enough for that busy area .. we passed dunkins all days lol
I loved the NHL map! Very easy to see where The Hobbit is from. Mats Zuccarello-Aasen from Oslo. : )
Gotta love the players in the NHL map and the roller coasters map!
Wonderful submissions everyone! Always an inspiration what people come up with.
As a "thoosie" myself that person left out 5 states with roller coasters north and south dakota nebraska Alaska and kansas
You're such a wholesome and down to earth RUclipsr! It makes me so happy to see that you're still getting views and making videos about stuff that you're both knowledgeable and passionate about. Great stuff as always, Kyle!
@8:33 seeing that there are nhl players from california, arizona, texas, florida and the southern us is wild.
Super cool to see the inclusion of the NHL in this as a super-nerd for both hockey and geography. I’ve been living in Louisiana for my entire life and nobody cares about hockey here so it was quite surprising to see that CBJ logo in biloxi. Did some digging and apparently that guy (Matheu Olivier) was born there and lived there for a very short time before moving around the world as his father was a hockey player and was originally Canadian. Makes sense.
Seems like that map might have the be updated with Mason Lohrei becoming the first NHL player from Louisiana! I hope more people in the south will start becoming hockey fans
that's the case with most players from non-hockey markets, but it does make the map more interesting
The Interesting Maps series might be my favorite of all youtube series. ALL RUclips. These are the bread and butter of why I love nerding out on geography. Keep it up, Kyle!
I am such a huge fan of your channel! I looove geography and I feel like you are one of the only channels that is actually interesting and true geography! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
@@GeographyKing Thank you for replying! Definitely made my day as I am such a huge fan!
def the best one i've watched! he keeps it simple and his delivery is by far the best, easy listening.
I just noticed the album in the background! Wu Tang is for the children! I love it.
Thank you for yet another great video. Interesting takes on the data, and I really appreciate your comments on presentation pros and cons. That helps all of us in learning how to present data in a compelling way.
The Geology map from Hazel did look great! Thank you!
Good video and good job to all the map makers. I have a request, map of all the bike trails in Ohio. Or more challenge if interested, all bike trails in eastern US. Or even more, all bike trails in the US.
The hand drawn was really good
Of all the careers, in retrospect, that I wish I had got into, cartography is first. Followed by linguistics. Instead, I studied history and ended up in the wine trade. A bit of all of those combined.
Not sure there are many jobs in cartography.
@@mirzaahmed6589There are plenty of jobs having to do with geographic information systems.
These are so creative! Keep 'em comin'!!
The map from 3:45-4:25 does not show the maritime borders between Minnesota and Michigan, and New York and Rhode Island.
Didn’t know about Minnesota/Michigan but came here to say the same about RI/NY
Along with that, Michigan should be light green on the hand drawn map, as Michigan borders 5 states (IN, OH, WI by land, IL and MN by Great Lakes)
Most people don't count the maritime borders.
I just noticed the Inspectah Deck album on the wall. A true, underrated artist!
These are the best videos from you!! I love them so interesting
Thank you! I'll keep them coming
Wonderful video as always Kyle, good job
Thank you Kyle. I like your stuff a lot.
Thanks to all the cartographers! My favorite was the Cape Cod trails. I've bicycled all but one of the greens and looking forward to more of them!
I need to go go the the Cape again
I like how the trail map shows a perfect outline of Otis Air Force base
I really liked that one too. I've ridden the Rail Trail from Dennis a couple times. I had know idea it was that extensive.
Who would have thunk it a guy doing videos about maps and geography is one of my favorite channels ever!
Love the intersection of coaster enthusiasts and geography at 5:55
The hockey maps were interesting
I noticed in Laurence D's map for his children that he doesn't count the 4 corners as a place where states border each other.
Do the states that sit diagonal from each other actually touch?
@@lewtube1They taught us in school that NM bordered 5 states including Utah but I could see not including it. 🤷🏻♀️
5:00 MN actually has a water border with MI (via Lake Superior), so technically it borders 5 states not 4! Still, cool map!
That last map blew my wig back ❤
Those are some really interesting maps!
All hail the geography master, our king 👑 🙂
You got that right, Kyle. A fairly hot July and August here in Phoenix. Over 112 to 117° during the summer. I woke up this morning to 58°
Nice contributions.
I love these videos
thank you king
need the next installment in this series asap
I’m used to my colorblind handicap during daily life. When my wife exclaims “The color on those trees are beautiful!”, I just agree and continue on…. However, as I struggle to understand the details of maps using colors in a legend, I find it rather sad that I’m being left out. 😢
My brother is color blind. Sees the world in completely different perspective. He told me once, maybe what I'm seeing is wrong😅
That is certainly a difficult consideration with cartography. To show contrasts, reds and greens are often used, and sometimes if there are a lot of things shown, grey scales aren't used as the differences might be too small to be seen well. I try to use green and purple for contrast, but that only helps those who are red-green color blind.
You mentioned your street trivia videos….have you ever thought of taking a trip up to Knoxville and doing one at UT? There’s also a pretty neat building that houses the geography department that might be worth checking out
As someone who lives in Mass i can confirm the Dunkin donuts are everywhere. The small town i live in has 2 for some reason
I’m from Palm Beach and the areas just east of I-95 tend to be older, run down and likely to simply be there longer. They tend to be communities where immigrants from the Caribbean or Latin America come and start their new lives in America and come with very little.
Thank you for the info
That really depends where in the county. I lived in South County, and areas east of I-95 may have a few neighborhoods with immigrant and African American populations, but areas east of Rt. 1 and entire barrier islands tend to be wealthier-with many retirees-which may account for much of the lower incomes on the extreme coast (Town of Palm Beach excluded). In the extreme southeast (Boca Raton), most of the area east of 95 is middle and upper middle class.
One the West Coast, the only Dunkin Donuts in my entire county is located inside of a credit union.
Love that map of Mass. I live in the big swath of green in the West with my fellow hobbits and our pet dragons. We may not have Dunks, but we do have lots and lots of magical trees. And we do our best to keep the trolls at bay so the city folk can chug their iced regulars in peace.
I instantly knew from the thumbnail that map was gonna be Dunkin Donuts locations.
challenge: found a route to the center of a city in Massachusetts that DOES NOT have you driving past a Dunks location.
The map about bars and DUI's, for New York it may be low due to a lot of people live NYC but not that many have their own cars so take cabs or the subway more than drive.
RE deer and highway accidents, maybe 20 years ago, a survey was taken noting that although the deer population in NY State was at an all time high (due to the reduction in predators) the number of deer being hit on the roads was going steadily down. It could be that there has been better fencing along highways. However, one theory was that the deer were actually getting smarter.
Yess new video!
Came here for the Mass maps. Stayed for the NHL birthplaces
I approve and subscribe
Mississippi recently got two coaster credits. They are both in Biloxi. An SBF visa at Paradise Pier at Margaritaville and a SDC Hurricane and a place called Big Play.
3:45 That's what I call thinking out of the box in a boxy way😊
One of the very best map sets ever was one created for Wired, showing commission of the "seven deadly sins" using factual proxies for them, such as density of fast food restaurants for Gluttony, number of reported STD cases for Lust, and so on for all 7. Unsurprisingly, the US bible belt excelled in most of them.
I used to live in Humboldt County, California---and I can vouch for the fact that it gets very little sun. Even in summer sometimes the fog and low clouds remain until early afternoon. The sun comes out for 2 or 3 hours and then it's cloudy again.
As a NH resident, what immediately stood out to me about the state borders as rectangles map, is that it has ME, NH, and VT meeting at a "three corners" point, which is incorrect. VT needs to slide down slightly (maybe by shortening MA) to disconnect VT from ME. I didn't do a thorough check of whether there are other instances of "three corners" boundary points being incorrect, though "Four Corners" certainly is done correctly.
I've recently started adding visits to "three corners" points to my road trip plans, as well as finding and re-surveying (with an old sub-centimeter accuracy GPS off eBay) various other types of survey and boundary markers, including ones marking SCOTUS decisions about state boundary disputes. Yes, some boundary markers have Supreme Court labeling rather than the usual USGS/etc.
The four corners is not done correctly according to my public school education.
King Kyle!!🎉
Love the NHL origins map. Southern Ontario and Quebec are just buried
Yeah you really have to zoom in on the source map to see all of the logos.
@@GeographyKingya, well you don't need a lot of accuracy since an emblem for a team doesn't tell you the player and in Southern Ontario, likely 15 to 20% of the league is there.
@@GeographyKing Is the source map publicly available to interact with (zoom in, etc.)?
For the bikes, I would guess fewer cyclists and straighter roads. Blind corners in the woods are way more dangerous than long straight grassland/desert highways.
My first thought is that there are some nerdy people out there. Oh wait I’m watching a nerdy video…. Second thought is that there are some really talented people.
Very cool interesting maps y’all!!!!
People also don't necessarily even drive in densely urban areas, much less drive drunk. Even medium cities have more taxicabs and buses per capita; so again, don't need to drive or have a designated driver. I bet that map would look very different pre-MADD (mid-1980s).
My favorite is the temperature zone map.
3:44 Washington is actually pretty much just as wide as Oregon. There was no need for them to shorten it there. LOL!
Out west you are allowed to bike on the interstates simply because it's the only reasonable way to cross the states. As you go east that is not allowed because there are many non-interstate roads available.
I can't imagine anyone in their right mind riding a bicycle along the interstate. You have to have a death wish and/or enjoy riding on boring over-heated concrete breathing in polluted air.
@@kenbob1071Or you desire to get somewhere on a bike and it is the only way.
Coincidentally, the map showing places where Dunkin is in Ma, well, that’s also where the police are in MA, as during my 35 years living there, it was very rare to see a Dunkin that didn’t have at least one police car in the parking lot… in Falmouth, MA once about 30 years ago,they had 4 police cars at their Dunkin on more than one occasion! It was so bad that a chief of police there once said that if he saw more than one police car there for more than 10 minutes, he’d fine those officers a days pay!
Urban places have fewer drunk drivers because fewer people have to get in a car to get a drink!
Areas of MA that are within 10 minutes of a Dunkin's: the only reason the south shore isn't pink is that it takes 10 minutes to get out of your driveway and down the block there.
For the Bar/car crash map - NH also doesn’t have a seatbelt law which causes a lot more deadly crashes than if you were required to wear your seatbelt.
Super interesting that the county Seattle is in gets more sunshine than the county Portland Oregon is in
The bikes on Freeways map was funny because Washington said it was allowed unless prohibited. Trust me it's prohibited, LOL. :)
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I knew it was a map of Dunkins
As a mostly colour blind person I really appreciate those maps that use distinct colour gradations in their maps.
Yes, even for people with good vision, some map and graph colors are way too close in shade. Especially when using pastel colors.
I wonder how people who choose the colors don't recognize that.
That part of Palm Beach prolly has more gold teeth than cars. That's were the cheap motels off the expressway will most likely be. Every town has a hood even if it's just a few blocks.
4:20 i think a practical use would make itself clearer if you were to discretize this down into say a graph you could use for combinatorics problems/issues
The sunniest counties part was missing Redding, California
kyle I cant tell, but are you a real human ? you look so AIy
i love your videos btw , they make me happy all the time!^^
NM/UT and CO/AZ do both share a border though. It’s just infinitesimal.
3:44 Michigan does border Minnesota on Lake Superior...
Maybe those coastal areas on the southern part of Palm Beach County are retirees with fixed incomes living in small condos?
How could I get a copy of the South Dakota map? It's beautiful!
Vermont does have 2 Mountain coasters and Wyoming and Montana each have 1 (so technically 2 parks with credits). I'm guessing either 1. They don't count Mountain Coasters or 2. Mountain Coasters tend to be stand alone attractions, and including them would shoot up Tennessee's park count, so technically 47 states plus Guam have at least 1 roller coaster according to the Roller Coaster database. Despite Hawaii having a song called "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" they don't have, at least a permanent, roller coaster-and most traveling coasters aren't tracked unless they are set up at an amusement park at some point (That's just the site operator's rule)
Alaska does have a permanent coaster, its just on fairground property and not dismantled like in the case of the Washington State Fair where they keep two coasters (well one is wood) up year round (although one was moved just across the grounds and is considered a separate entry-which is kinda wired considering some rides have had changes to their experience, but remain as a single entry because the structure isn't really changed-although I would've made Top Thrill 2 a separate entry since they are adding new trackage that didn't exist before)
Thanks for all of that info!
I love that Laurence D hand-made the map with no legend to represent the number of state neighbors, but I think it is off that he did not include 4 corners as a border, by my counts, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico should each have 1 more bordering state and thus should be a different color
I personally don't count meeting at a point as sharing a border. I'm more bothered by him showing Maine meeting Vermont at a point, when in fact that doesn't happen.
I completely agree, Johnny. If two states touch, they therefore border. AZ and CO touch.
We were taught in school that the states in the 4 corners bordered one another. Whether it is logical or not is debatable.
2:48 not sure if anyone else caught this, but look at san francisco! it really be foggy out here
What’s up with that middle bit in Massachusetts that seems to be bereft of Dunkins, yet there seems to be a city right in the middle? There’s a city seemingly bordered by nothing for miles.
Kyle: makes a video about maps.
Me: triggered by his world map background not depicting South Sudan
2:45 I have some questions about this map. 1. Why don’t the colors go from light to dark with how temperate, and obey the spectrum of light so orange is hotter and then it falls to yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet as you get colder? Everyone is more used to this organization of colors. Secondly, idk which color my area should be if it is 100° max temp every year, should it be in the 95° category or 104°?
You got Bay State right!
0:22 THAT'S MY FIANCE!!!!!
I have several critiques concerning the map made by Laurence D showing state borders as rectangles. Her map shows a 4 corners of WI, MI, IN, IL. That is incorrect. In fact, IL & MI share a border in Lake Michigan, east of Chicago. Fun fact, or at least I think it is a fact. I believe that it is the only border between states, in the lower 48, that involves no land border and is only a water border. Do you agree or disagree? Furthermore, one might argue about the 4 corners shown at VA, MD, & DE; or VT, NH, ME. Lengthening the height of MD or the width of NH to fully separate VA & DE and VT & ME would give the map more meaning considering the accuracy and implication the 4 corners of UT, AZ, NM, & CO are represented on the map. At least that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it for now. Nice map Laurence, I know it was a lot of work to put it together.
I agree about the map needing better treatment of ME/VT not actually meeting at all, even just at a point, etc. There are water-only borders between NY/RI and also MI/MN, in addition to MI/IL.
I love these maps! Please make more videos like this!
Anyway to get a copy of that world temperature map?
