@@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.
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
I am map obsessed, I can spend hours studying them. As 7 year old on a long family trip (moving to NY from NC) I memorized the interstate highways system, all the states capitals and largest cities. Kinda weird for a kid who was very slow to take up reading. After that point in my life I was obsessed with maps like I was autistic or something.
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.
@@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.
0:48 - Rare correction. CT, DE, NH & NJ also contain no counties bearing those Top 5 most common names (map correct, verbal description not via simple omission). Love the channel/content.
I found your channel about a month ago and I think I've watched nearly all of your videos since. I'm from the UK and am unfortunately not very well-traveled so I find all your content fascinating. I've even started following along on google maps as I watch. haha. Thank you so much for making such interesting videos! :)
I loved the 41 contiguous states map. I think there are three reasons New Yorkers move to California. 1. The wealthy bi-coastal junkies. 2. The weather and landscapes. 3. As a NYer, I just always really liked people from California.
2:49, I saw Denmark on that map and got so confused for a second before realizing Greenland is part of it. It’s definitely true that Alaska adds a lot to our total land area but think about what Greenland does for Denmark 😂.
10:40 Really enjoyed learning about La Plata, Argentina. If you zoom into the very middle of the Plaza Moreno which is in the middle of the city, you can see that they made an outline of the main city streets on the paving stones 😂 that might help you if you get lost there.
Hi Kyle, @ 8:30 you questioned why so many people from NY ended up in California. And you are correct in assuming that much of the migration ended up in Los Angles. I don't know what the exodus is like or has been from the last 50 years to now, but I was born in LA in 1957 and my parents were born in NY in the early '20s. When I was old enough, my dad told me that the Bronx, Brooklyn, Jersey had pockets of unsavory areas that were not so good as far as crime, and the lack of ease of movement around the populated cities. Cars being double and triple parked. You had better take the L train. Also, it snows over there and is very cold. My grandfather had bronchitis. His Dr. told him to move to a more dry/less humid area. My family (including some relatives and friends of) heard of the benefits of southern California. So they drove or flew out and relocated. That took a lot of strength to travel 3,000 miles to relocate where you don't know anyone, and you don't know where you can find a job. The California Gold Rush had been over, but somehow it was still "Go West young man".
3:16 Belgian here, fun fact, I see poland has "St. Nicholas" as Santa. Besides we having Christmas Man (which is the exact translation of "Kerstman") as Santa we also have St. Nicholas but we call him "Sinterklaas". He comes on December 6th while Kerstman is December 25th. If you ever heard the blackface controversy of "Black Pete" (aka in Dutch Zwarte Piet) he's Sinterklaas's helper. Sinterklaas, as opposed to Santa, is something purely for children while Christmas and Santa is more of a family thing.
@@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!
@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.
This channel is like a audio visual version of my daily Wikipedia or Google maps scrolling on the toilet. Love it, you found a nice little niche here, different then the other great geography channels out there.
4:31 The map doesn't really swap the Great Lakes for Hudson Bay. It actually swaps the US for Canada. The east and west coasts don't move, but the north and south borders do, which includes the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay.
@@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.
@@gonzavazquezz 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
@@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
This channel is becoming my favorite one really fast. Very interesting topics and a little map po*n is always good. Keep up the great work and greetings from Germany :D
Actually is pretty easy to navigate in La Plata. All streets are numbered and are classified as either diagonals, streets or avenues. Just take a bus in the nearest park (Wich cannot be more than 7 blocks away) or walk to the railway terminus, which at maximum is no more than 40 blocks of distance. All diagonals leads to one of the four corners of the city and all strait streets go to each cardinal point.
When I was a young boy I used to spend a lot of time looking at a Rand Mcnally road map, studying my globe, and going through my encyclopedia looking for topographical maps. I easily memorized the states and then moved on to countries until I had them all memorized. I used that knowledge to become lead singer and bass player in a heavy metal band. Lol. But I do have the words to over 2,000 songs memorized along with the bass tabs. I have been in hundreds of bands and at one time was in 9 different bands at the same time. How maps lead to my musical career and having more useless info in my head that most people. Thank you for bringing back those memories of how my wacky life got started. I wouldn't change a thing. Cheers my friend.
Hi Kyle! Your videos are addicting. I just love geographical maps, ever since I was a kid. It would be wonderful if you could throw in a bit of Canadiana while you're at it, seeing as I live in Callander, Ontario. We like to think there's life beyond the borders. Thanks!
The good thing about places like La Plata is, once you have understood the system according to which the city was planned and if you have a fair sense of direction, it is very difficult to get lost there.
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.
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.
You forgot to say "Spoiler Alert." ;-) Hawaii and Alaska aren't contiguous. In alphabetical order the 7 missing contiguous states are Delaware, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. What's so clever about this map is that all the states shown are the right shape, even though some are shifted and relatively a little too big.
@@heatherthedutch-american1481 Lol. I was sort of half serious and half kidding. Probably everyone reading the comments already solved the puzzle, if they were interested.
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
IMO, La Plata looks like it would be very hard to get lost. The diagonals would allow quicker travel from one region of the city to another. Their direction, along with the parks (which are evenly distributed) would probably make it quite easy to figure out where you are in the city.
6:05 gonna have to challenge this statement. The map shows the lowest areas as those under 100ft of elevation. The scientific consensus is that about 2ft of sea level rise by 2100 is realistic. Anything more than that is certainly possible (up to 8 ft!), but not likely. Next time show a map with areas that have elevation under 2ft. Wouldn't have the same shock value, I know.
GK is a CCP-paid propagandizer so this bit of misdirection is unsurprising. Having said that, I fully support the submersion of as much of Florida as possible!

I live in a drier state, but I was thinking exactly this. 109°F in the FL humidity would be MISERY.
Another winner, I really enjoy these various maps, thank you
The Vatican city is a star fort? That was unexpected.
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 just watched your 4 'interesting maps' videos. Fascinating. Keep making these videos!
This was fantastic, thanks! Funny enough, I've been to La Plata but actually had no idea it looked like that.
Secret Treaties? Man geography AND Blue Öyster Cult! Awesome.
Every time I hear, “Howdy, it’s Kyle.” I know it’s going to be a good day.
I stumbled unto your channel and I am hooked!
Welcome to the channel!
9 States that are missing at 5:00
Alaska
Delaware
Hawaii
Kansas
Nebraska
New Mexico
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
South Dakota
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
🥇🗺️👍🏼
Howdy Kyle! I like these videos about maps. Keep up the great work!
Spoiler alert:
5:10 new Mexico, north Dakota, south Dakota,Delaware, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Alaska, Nebraska 😊
You forgot to say "Spoiler Alert." ;-) Hawaii and Alaska aren't contiguous. In alphabetical order the 7 missing contiguous states are Delaware, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. What's so clever about this map is that all the states shown are the right shape, even though some are shifted and relatively a little too big.
@@alwaysuseless ha I'll put in a spoiler
@@heatherthedutch-american1481 Lol. I was sort of half serious and half kidding. Probably everyone reading the comments already solved the puzzle, if they were interested.
I've never seen your channel. This was pretty great. I've always been a map nerd.
China and Australia trading places. A lot easier to draw on a map than to make happen.
I never knew I needed this information this much. It's like a snack for the brain.
Just curious bc I'm trying to get a job in geography. Do you work in geography?
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
IMO, La Plata looks like it would be very hard to get lost. The diagonals would allow quicker travel from one region of the city to another. Their direction, along with the parks (which are evenly distributed) would probably make it quite easy to figure out where you are in the city.
Delaware, the Dakotas, Kansas, and Pennsylvania I got without checking (Nebraska and New Mexico are also missing)
NM, ND, SD, NE, KS, PA, DE, AK, HI
Very cool! I'm glad I found your channel. I subscribed a few days ago and this video doesn't disappoint.
Thank you! Welcome to the channel!
"Christmas goat" is not a thing in Finland, it's just the literal translation of Joulupukki (Santa Claus)
So, in Finland, Santa Claus is the Greatest Of All Time?
🎄🐐 Kiitos!
Now I’m addicted to another thing- thanks alot
6:05 gonna have to challenge this statement. The map shows the lowest areas as those under 100ft of elevation. The scientific consensus is that about 2ft of sea level rise by 2100 is realistic. Anything more than that is certainly possible (up to 8 ft!), but not likely.
Next time show a map with areas that have elevation under 2ft. Wouldn't have the same shock value, I know.
GK is a CCP-paid propagandizer so this bit of misdirection is unsurprising. Having said that, I fully support the submersion of as much of Florida as possible!
@@alquinn8576 You're a CCP-paid propagandizer. He got these maps from Reddit, so bring it up with the actual person who created the map.
Man, I love this channel.
I wish the Christmas Gnome would give me presents
you have a really fine program. Have a great new year, from Vancouver.
Connecticut also doesn’t have a Washington/Jefferson/Lincoln/Franklin/Jackson county.
You live in Chattanooga?!?! No wayyy!! Amazing haha great channel!! subbing this instant
0:54 You missed New Jersey :/
Yeah
I miss (parts of) New Jersey too! 😢
Great video Kyle thanks for what you do.
