Some Interesting Maps of the USA

[JimBowie1958]

First lets start with a map of what our country looks like from above, the covering of the land in our country.

Then lets look at the cultural and ethnic heritage that is dominant in each county

Now lets look at some other interesting features, like the distribution of land and population.

The first map doesn't have a legend...what does the colors mean?
Specifically the pink and red

These maps seem to offer several explanation of the current shift we are seeing in political demographics.

While Democrats are winning the voter concentrated urban areas, they are losing the rural areas badly.

The red and pink areas are built up areas of human living space.

The dark green is forest, the light green a mix of human use and forest.
The brownish are agricultural use and so forth.

And BTW, Antifa and BLM are going to hurt them even more.

Just compare these two maps and see the huge losses of counties in the upper Mississippi, Rural New England and New York, NW Nevada, Montana, North Carolina, rural Colorado and New mexico, etc.

Meantime, Democrats gained in areas they already held firmly, California, and nose bleed union areas.

And since their polling is predominately of people who will come to the phone and answer or go on the internet, the rural areas are under represented and the Trump loss of the Carolinas, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin did not happen among other similar states.

Trump won all the toss up states except Nevada, and took N Carolina and Pennsylvania too, blue states prior to the election.

Wild to see it depicted in this way. Crazy.

Aye, and why the hell do people want to live there?
My brother lives in Chicago, and even though in Algonquin which is out of the city of course, it is still way overpopulated and traffic is nuts almost no matter what time of day.
Store are always crowded, people are rude...not for me.

The images don't show up but just on this point above --- neither NC nor PA are "blue" states. They're in effect purple. They go either way.

I'm a twelve-year resident of one and was born and raised in the other.

The rural areas want the jobs and opportunities of the cities, without having to put in any of the work or having to interact with people from different backgrounds.
