Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This might belong in no stupid questions but, what is the significance of Columbia? There seems to be no geographical consistency, it seems to be used accross several countries and languages. What's the deal? Lol
Hahahahahahah holy fuck I never made the connection to Columbus. Fuck I'm dying cuz it's so fucking obvious now hahaja
As a non-american, I have never heard of "northwoods" before.
Ohio River Valley actually extends to the WV border on the SE side (technically into it, but only like 1mi)
Some of these things seem solely topographical-based.
NEPA will not be happy about being considered "Upper Appalachia."
We should take this list and divide it into government districts. There are a lot of unhappy people and a lot of parts of states, conservatives in states where liberal centers control politics, and vice versa. This map corrects a lot of those areas of people with similar beliefs could be divided into similar districts.
I assure you that nobody in Philadelphia considers themselves to be part of the Chesapeake region
Yeah, I've lived in PA and NJ for 20+ years as an adult. Never heard anyone reference Chesapeake.
And no one from Indiana says they live in the Ohio River Valley.
Maybeeee a few of the folks in Jeffersonville might. Maaaaayybeee
The Rocky Mountains extend into NE Washington state. The map is a very rough approximation at best.
I've read a variant of this that's little more interesting, and useful, because it includes the backstory, as well as Canada's role (which does overlap a lot of the US).
It's not 100% accurate, largely because of urbanization, but you can see how we got to where we are today.
Nothing in Texas is part of the south. Not only will the south tell you that, Texas will tell you that
Well, they don’t even get all of Texas. So, who cares what they have to say. Can’t even keep their whole state. Who knew “Texas” was just a small chunk in the middle.
Hard disagree. I lived in Dallas for 15 years. Longview and Tyler are classic Southern.
I feel like this map was designed to piss off everyone.
Where's the pacific northwest? It's labeled weird.
I refuse to be known at part of the nyc metro.
And I can drive a couple miles to a sign that says "Welcome to Tennessee, Gateway of the Deep South."
You tell people they're part of the "upper" south and they'll set your car on fire.
New England is fully correct so no one there will be mad.
As is proper.
This guide is inaccurate. The region labelled midwest is actually in the east. And the region labelled deep south is actually in the northern hemisphere.
As a European, this map is excellent!
Don't trust it. At best, some of it used to be accurate in a useful way. But even then, the terminology wouldn't match well.
The closest you could get in comparison would be placing outlines of Prussia over modern Europe and saying that it was still a region. Yeah, there's some connections, but it ain't gonna help you much
It's a lie. I'm sorry.
Absolutely never will you catch a southern Illinois saying we’re from/in the south. We say Midwest or southern Illinois to be more specific.
I never understood why people think WV is a southern state. 1) It fucking snows and is cold af in winter. 2) We literally exist because we ain't traitors.
It’s funny because I don’t know anyone east of Springfield that would consider themselves the “Ohio River Valley” either. I feel like the borders should be closer to state lines. I would like a reference for this map if anyone has it.
