75 Of The Most Fascinating Maps Of The World That May End Up Shifting Your Perspective (New Pics)


Who doesn't love a good map? I'd even say we'd get lost without one. They enrich our understanding of the world in a simple, visual way.


Maps teach us not only about the size and shapes of countries but also show many more interesting things, like earthquake locations and wealth distribution. The local status of gay marriage or car reliance. Pretty much everything we have data on!


So let's revisit this subreddit for a new dose of cartography — it hits just as strong as the previous ones.
