Mapping

Some things I'm toying with can be found here at Picasa:

Two of the items therein have been noted here previously, but some of you newly adding me to their friendlist won't have known they were there to find. (Thanks much for that particular honour, opaqueplanet!)

likewise, dewline!

Your maps of N. America are... intriguing! I'd love to hear your reasons for each state's defection from the union. I'm guessing you've got it thought out.

The latest map is a response to an ongoing debate triggered by an article about Igor Panarin published recently in the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html). Some of the ideas he espoused, as you'll see from both the article itself and its accompanying map, are as amusing as they are possibly ill-informed.

My first attempt at an almost-continental map(I neglected to include Mexico) is something worked up for my space opera novel. New York and Michigan were split up for my purposes, with northern NY State becoming the province of Adirondack somewhen between 2060 and 2167. Haven't figured out a provincial name for the Upper Michigan Peninsula yet.

I too am intrigued by the subject of alternate Earths as well as Maps for same.

So far, I have come up with this map (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1345372&l=7e37b&id=594415921). I hope you find it interesting too.
