Made as a gift for Flickr user theindigobunting's 3 year old nephew who loves New York subway maps. The custom map has all the toddler's favorite spots.

This cool map shows the regional differences between people to say “ya'll” and people who say “you” — along with those who say “you all” and “you guys”. While I find it kind of strange that the only state to say “you” is grammatically-challenged Rhode Island, they've also left out the essential “youz” or “youz all” which exists exclusively on Long Island.

Stephen Von Worley created this map showing the distance from the nearest McDonalds throughout the lower 48 states. Congrats, South Dakota: You provide the greatest geographical McChallenge.

National Geographic plots a map of where you would arrive were you to tunnel your way through the earth. Spoiler alert: it's not China. (FYI: Amsterdam Island, while “belonging” to France, is in the Indian Ocean. Colonialism threw me for a moment there.)

An NYC subway map is re-imagined as something slightly more…familiar? Once you see this, you really can't unsee it — if you know what I mean.

Google Maps has caught many crazy things on its roving cameras, but nothing quite so self-incriminating. Not quite the way to leave the scene of the crime.

A Gallup report seems to suggest there are only five states left where republicans have a significant party-affiliation advantage. The governors of Utah and Alaska are already contenders for the republican nomination in 2012, and there may not be much other competition.

The NYT examines the giggle-worthy naming habits of the British people. Unfortunately, there is no visual documentation of the town “Titty Ho.” We'll just have to trust the map.

A map of the U.S. with each state renamed as a country with a similar GDP. It'd be so convenient to be able to drive from Hong Kong to Australia.

In the not-too-distant future, water may well be as valuable a commodity as oil. The U.N.'s map shows the groundwater resources of water hidden throughout the world. Sorry, China! The Western U.S. is looking pretty dry, too. Light blue/green=low resources and refresh, with darker colors equal to more water resources.

The New York Times runs a front page story with facts, interviews, and analysis supporting the ” racist belt ” theory proposed on BuzzFeed. That racist belt post really pissed people off but it turns out to be true! Click the image to read the whole story.

Here's what the electoral map would have looked like if only people over 65 voted… and there are 11 more maps with other demographics.

What the electoral map would look like if only young people voted. Now I want to see the map if only people over 70 voted.

This map shows the most racist parts of America. Only 22% of counties voted more Republican this year than 2004. These are the people that bucked the general trend and actually went the other way, i.e., Democrats and moderates switching to the Republican side. Race is the only reason that makes sense for a Democrat to switch sides this election cycle. Keep this in mind when you plan your next vacation: America's “racist belt” stretches through the whitest parts of the South and up the Appalachian Mountains.

Kottke’s put together a nice look at a number of different election night maps. These are mainly from a wide range of news organizations, p[lus the Onion, Google and some guy with a dry erase board. There must be a cocktail napkin map out there somewhere.

This Google Maps app picks a middle point between two locations and recommends places to meet. Bars, coffee shops, theaters and an Apple store - they’ve got it all. Plus, you’ve gotta love their slogan: “I’m not drivin’ all the way out there!”
