There's an East Side.

It's just on the far south side.

The map of Wyoming there is the only one that looks halfway accurate. It's on its side though.

This graph seems to actually convey information, even if it's in a very obtuse and unintuitive way.

The nonsensical pie charts are better.

Actually this could potentially be not bad if you sorted the bars left to right by month instead of whatever arbitrary method the guy who made this used.

No, by number of Republican delegates. Which is why Wyoming is higher than Oregon, for example.

Alaska is closer to the left than Rhode Island, which if the states are sorted from most delegates to least delegates, means Alaska should send more delegates to the convention than Rhode Island, which as far as I understand it, it does, on account of it getting a bunch of bonus delegates from voting republican so much?

It's amazing how many people didn't read the axis labels.

Anyway found a neat map at the Boston West End Museum today:


Boston and surroundings with water drawn as it was when Europeans first showed up, more or less, and current day shorelines and roads/transit over top.


Closeup of the central area.

You're confusing New York City (and to a lesser extent Philadelphia) with Boston. Never been many Dutch at all up in Boston, plenty of Dutch-led reclamation in NYC and a bit of it in Philly.

I think the map is being ultra-technical, and since "United Kingdom" isn't literally the same as "Kingdom", it goes in the "Other" category. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is also in the Other category. It's a map of long form names rather than government types, so only countries describing themselves as "Kingdom of X" are on the Kingdom list.
