I attribute my own "pick-AHN" pronouning to going to the Walnut Valley Bluegrass festival (Winfield, for those in the know) every year since i was young and everyone calls one section of the campgrounds the "Pecan Grove" there being a bunch of Okies at this particular festival, it must have rubbed off.

St. Louis is over the top about calling it soda. Places will act like they have no idea what you want when you order "pop." They know, they are just jerks.
That map is like bright red over St. Louis...little "soda" capital of the Midwest.
I say soda for the most part, but I ALWAYS say "pop" in St. Louis. eff those assholes, man.

People who say soda and live in the midwest are trying to hard to not be white midwesterny. Just embrace it sometimes. I mean, you're drinking a pop, call it whatev you want it still ain't classy.

When I was last in sf, I was just wondering around and went right into the bright red "sketchy" area. Stopped in a mexican restaurant for lunch, but it all looked disgusting so I left.
The Tenderloin? Ha ha, that place is rough ridin' crazy and like right adjacent to Union Square. I was walking through there a month or two ago and saw a crackhead just messing around with a gun on a corner. I couldn't tell if it was real or not, but I kept walking.

My 30 year old parents had put us kids to bed and were out on the deck conversing with their friends. All of a sudden they heard me screaming, "KILLER! HELP, IT'S A KILLER!!" They ran inside and upstairs, and apparently there was a moth on the ceiling that I was deathly afraid of, and also thought it was called a killer instead of a miller. :D

If I recall correctly there was quite the discussion over what it meant for that one Dakota to be worst as rape. Like, do they do it a lot? Or hardly ever? Or like when they rape is it just the awfulest rape? I don't believe we ever reached a conclusion.

They are the hill jacks, poor as crap and dumber than dirt but they love america.
Also because their ancestors couldn't read or write, literacy still only runs around 38% in those counties.

the south didn't require cheap labor from masses of european immigrants, so the white folks who are there have been hanging around for a long time. most of those white people were/are very poor and poor people don't care to do genealogy stuff.

Reading that 11 nations book now. The original hill jacks were in WV and when more people arrived they would just float down the Ohio River to settle new lands since this was the easiest way to travel(no roads).
Why didn't they head north into the better farmlands of central OH/IN/IL? Welp, they were inbred hicks who hated being told what to do and thus avoided area's with large populations or where more people were likely to settle. Specifically the Yankee's from New England who were all about education and loved to start schools/colleges to assimilate everyone into there way of life.
One of the first things the Yankee's did when they settled KS was start the colleges that today we call KSU and KU.

At the same time, I sort of think of New Mexico as the new Colorado and sort of think of Colorado as the new California.
great assessment
Post by: sys on November 04, 2013, 10:54:00 PM
Since I discovered that New Mexico is where I belong I read on Wikipedia that its name does not reference the country of Mexico and that it was called "New Mexico" long before Mexico was called "Mexico." I guess I believe that. At the same time, I sort of think of New Mexico as the new Colorado and sort of think of Colorado as the new California.
yeah, new mexico city, not new mexico country (or new mexico state).

I think it's interesting with regard to regional cultural type similarities. It seems to coincide pretty well with my own impressions. I don't think I'd lump the Northeast and upper Midwest together, though.
you could probably separate Texas and Appalachia, too. Still pretty interesting.

some one needs to tell those regional map people that there doesn't need to be so many northeastern divisions. it's not the 18th century anymore, you know?
I disagree. If anything there should be more(Thats where all the people live).

All Streets consists of 240 million individual road segments. No other features — no outlines, cities, or types of terrain — are marked, yet canyons and mountains emerge as the roads course around them, and sparser webs of road mark less populated areas.

did the mississippi used to be called the Missouri? Also the St. Lawrence River is pretty cool.
when two rivers meet, the longer river's name gets used from then on. the missouri's source is farther away than the mississippi's, so technically it should be the missouri, but the mississippi was "discovered" and named first, before it was known how far away the source of the missouri river is.

S. D. Houston of Riley county (on the western fringe of the then settled part of Kansas) who was the champion of "Big Kansas" in regard to the western boundary. Houston said, "If we can get the boundary designated by congress in the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and get a road to the mountains, I ask if it is not a question of some magnitude whether Kansas shall not have the grand Pacific Railroad of the country. . . . Suppose you go on and adopt the 25th meridian, you leave Kansas some three hundred miles from the mountains." He continued, "I'd rather have it go to those regions of gold."

The Lawrence Republican stated that the exclusion of both southern Nebraska and far western Kansas was wise. "It is entirely evident that the gold region could not be included in our government. A State 700 miles long is out of the question.

Fun fact...If you look at the west bottoms(Kansas City) you will notice that half of it is in KS and half is in Missouri. This is because when MO was admitted as a state in 1820 they used the mouth of the Kaw as the dividing line. By the time they finally started building stuff in KC the mouth of the Kaw had shifted a quarter mile northwest. :D

My dad spent his 7th grade year living in Tampa, Fla. and one time told me about sunshowers when I was a kid and it was raining while sunny. We were in Kansas, but he said they used to have them all the time in Florida. I always thought that is what everyone called it, "sunshowers." I was way wrong.
Apparently only Floridians call them that.

Mine was weird; Reno, San Jose and some other nearby CA city...grew up east coast, spent my entire adult life in KS.I had Reno, San Jose, and Denver the first time I took it, too. Of those places I've only ever been to Denver. Then I took it a second time and got slightly different questions and got pegged with ICT, KC, Lincoln.
The state of KS was still in red in both, just none of the cities picked were here. I guess if we ever visit the trashiest cities west of the Missouri, we'll fit right in.

Pretty cool map however it's not accurate. The Comanches started in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Only after the Spanish came and they mastered the horse did they descend onto the prairies.

Mine was weird; Reno, San Jose and some other nearby CA city...grew up east coast, spent my entire adult life in KS.I had Reno, San Jose, and Denver the first time I took it, too.
got san jose, fremont and santa rosa. probably has to do with big 12 games being shown on that bay area channel.

Off the top of my head the foreigners in the west were probably Chinese/Irish who built the railroads and worked in the mines.
Present day New York gets tons of immigrants from all over(SE asia/East Africa/etc)

mess with the "Depth". If you select "40", it only looks at California's 40 favorite artists, and of those, Bonobo is #28, but only #85 in the rest of the USA.

The border between the Brewers and Twins is a river, basically.
You could root for six different teams, within a days drive, if you lived in Columbus, Ohio.
Cardinals fans are still water trash.

Here are some gotchas:
Trip Routes are a result of passing the start and end locations to the Google Directions API. They are a possible route that the taxi took, but should not be assumed to be accurate.
Empty Taxis also follow the "best route" between a dropoff and the next pickup. Just as with the trips, this is just an effective way to move the marker around, but doesn't reflect the reality of where the taxi traveled.
Tips are only reported in the data for credit card transactions. Cash tips are not included.

Even split.They don't double dip in the same bank accounts, if that is what you're asking.
Its likely listed as the same simply because their year to year income would be the same, having equal ownership of the company, thus not reflecting actual cash on hand.

The locations of the dots do not represent actual addresses. The most detailed geographic identifier in Census Bureau data is the census block. Individual dots are randomly located within a particular census block to match aggregate population totals for that block. As a result, dots in some census blocks may be located in the middle of parks, cemeteries, lakes, or other clearly non-residential areas within that census block. No greater geographic resolution for the 2010 Census data is publicly available (and for good reason).

just about every city has a line like that, and it is pretty incredible.

I've been thinking that it's pretty racist how many different races we lump into the "Asian" race.
lots of anthropologists would say 3 races 10's of ethnicities

I kinda get offended when, in a survey or whatever, I'm asked to select a race for myself. I admit I'm weird about that stuff, though.

100% Prairie Living
Most of us are married, family farmers who work hard on our land, located primarily in the Midwest. We shop only when we need something, and stick to the food brands we know. Other than farm equipment, we own and drive trucks, SUVs, and ATVs. Technology isn't of particular interest. Financial activities include banking in person, investing in low-interest CDs, and holding term/whole life insurance policies. Faith and religion are strong influences in our lives; we donate to religious groups and join religious clubs. Radios are tuned to inspirational, faith, and country music stations. We also own pets, watch TV via satellite, shop at Walmart, and eat out at Subway. When there's time, we hunt, fish, go to country music concerts, and camp out

In fact, you could argue that it's so great that it even pulls Pott Co. up into the top 10% just for being an adjacent county.

http://maps.kgs.ku.edu/oilgas/index.cfm
Shows every oil/gas/water well in KS. I can look at my grand parents old farm and see they have 3 water wells, 2 completed in 1976 under my GPA's name and 1 in 2007 under my uncles name(GPA passed away in 2004).
I can also see that the plot of land my dad is inheriting (GMA passed away in march :cry:) is next to some land where there is an oil well that was completed in 2012. You can click the well and see who owns it(Long lost cousins apparently), how much it has produced every month etc etc. You can even see the core samples from the drilling in PDF's, just crazy stuff.

The water well data that is shown on the KGS map is pulled from the Water Well Completion form database (WWC5). Well drillers and other people associated with punching holes to groundwater have to submit a WWC5 for each completed well. Kansas started the WWC5 database and groundwater protection act in 1974. So if you have groundwater wells on your property that were installed prior to 1974 and haven't been redrilled after 1974, they won't be on that map.The internet is an amazing thing. I just stumbled across this today and spent an hour playing with it.
http://maps.kgs.ku.edu/oilgas/index.cfm
Shows every oil/gas/water well in KS. I can look at my grand parents old farm and see they have 3 water wells, 2 completed in 1976 under my GPA's name and 1 in 2007 under my uncles name(GPA passed away in 2004).
I can also see that the plot of land my dad is inheriting (GMA passed away in march :cry:) is next to some land where there is an oil well that was completed in 2012. You can click the well and see who owns it(Long lost cousins apparently), how much it has produced every month etc etc. You can even see the core samples from the drilling in PDF's, just crazy stuff.
this is cool, my grandpa has 6 wells in SEK, really interesting. Great grandfather drilled a ton in SEK and NEO in the 40's and 50's and his name pops up all over the place.
I need to do more research about this as I can't find any of the water wells on our property. Really cool map.
If your water wells have water rights associated with them, or if you aren't even sure they ever have, you can peruse the Kansas Division of Water Resources WIMAS system and see the available info and some interesting things.
Oil and gas wells equal money and their locations have been recorded since the late 1920s.

well Santa Rosa has 170k and Petaluma and Novato are both 50-60k. I've never been up past Novato but a big issue is the 101 is the only way to get to the city (or to a Ferry in Marin) and it rough ridin' sucks.
And yeah, it's pretty mountainous/wildernessy or wine country starts up there and probably won't ever have significant new development outside of the three northern cities I mentioned.

Honestly, I don't make many maps any more.(or what I would call a publish quality map) I used to make geology maps when I was finishing up college and worked at the Kansas Geological Survey. I do love maps though and have always been a geography nerd even as a child. I miss the intricacies of making a really fine map.
I use google maps for driving directions. Not really used all that much for professional mapping or analysis (unless pulling data from google for analysis).
I'm a solutions architect now and mostly plan projects, integrations, and spatial analysis. I spend way more time writing code than I do making maps.
Geography has really started blowing up in the last decade or so. For instance, company B wants to build a new store. They'd ask a GIS(Geography Information Systems) person to analyze patterns and tell them the best locations to put that new store (this could be based on traffic patterns, demographics, nearby retail, local income, etc..
For me, working in the public sector now, we have issues with project funding and where to spend money. So I'll build a model of all our assets, what condition they are in, how much longer they will last, etc.. with the spatial component, I can map out locations around the city where we have multiple asset categories nearing their end-of-life and/or have high consequence of failure. We can focus project money on those locations, get a better ROI and avoid the always embarrassing, replace a road and 2 years later dig it up to replace the water line underneath scenario. You'd think that would be a given to do them both at the same time, but that has always been a massive problem in government silos.
VR, 3D and AI/Machine Learning are really the next frontiers of Geography. Some really cool applications coming out.
I kind of veered there and didn't really talk about maps all that much.

I haven't been on any WIHA land to hunt but I used to fish alot of farm ponds in the equivalent FISH program and rarely saw anyone else, maybe 1/4 of the time. Almost all the WIHA/FISH lands are at least 1 HR away from the major metro areas in Kansas, if they were closer I'm sure they would get pounded. Living in KC the closest FISH lands were south of Baldwin City or North of Tonganoxie.
For the WIHA near major metro area's you have to register online beforehand and check in electronically.

he didn't cite him but Matt Shirley created that and is the brother of Paul Shirley who's from Kansas and played at ISU and in the NBA for a bit. I'm pretty sure Matt played somewhere in college and his IG is a fun follow.

I once posted this in the Book thread, but I love this dude's book's explanation/map of the cultural "nations" of America. It's a great book (or book on audio) if you have the time. He breaks down how they came to be, and what their characteristics are, with evidence. The end of the book is not so good where he speculates about the future, but the majority of the book is fantastic.

What are the cliff notes on why there is a Tidewater (figured they'd group it in with the deep south tbh, which I don't really think it is but I've never lived in the deep south).
Going off memory here
- Tidewater was Settled/dominated by British sons who didnt get any of daddys land as opposed to the deep south plantations which were settled/dominated by plantation owners from the Caribbean. A more genteel version of the deep south.

Other sign is

apparently the northern Michigan debate is as hotly contested as the western Kansas debate.
That is kind of interesting to learn. Makes sense that the Western Kansas debate is a member of a set of similar debates.

"Up North" (while still a stupid argument) is different because everyone vacations and/or owns a cabin "Up North". Like someone in Ludington won't go "nuh-uh!!!" if you tell them they're located up north. It's a lovely place.Such a beautiful state.

Utah is a bee hive :eek:
Emblem - Beehive
The beehive symbolizes industry, which is the state's motto. Before the state of Utah, the provisional government of the State of Deseret also had the beehive as its emblem. Deseret means honeybee in the Book of Mormon. The first bees brought to modern-day Utah were allegedly carried by Charles Crismon from the Mormon colony in San Bernardino, California.

Benchmark makes a great atlas as well, but it looks like they only cover the west.Probably not soon enough. Really want to visit all the national parks there. We drove through there on the way back from Grand Canyon five years ago. Didn't budget enough time. I was most struck by the San Rafael Swell west of Green River. It is like a bizarre moonscape. The whole state is just a geologic wonderland.

I heard the word Pig Latin for the Volga germans. My folks spoke this language and did not understand the Germans on the news during the fall of the Berlin Wall during the '80s, because they said it was a different type of German language.
Here a google answer:
The Volga Germans speak a largely Hessian dialect, whereas many Black Sea Germans speak either Schwäbisch (Swabian) or Plattdeutsch (Low German). Although Germans in Russia often show a marked preference for their local dialects, older German Russians can understand and read Hochdeutsch (Standard German) as well.

It doesn't. I would have guessed Mandarin/Cantonese for Iowa and either German or Vietnamese for Kansas. When I worked at Dillons when I was in high school we would get a crap load of Mennonites who didn't speak a lick of English, must have been a smaller community in western Kansas than I thought.

They have them here in Iowa too, they are quite aggressive. I don't believe they have these in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and that surprises me.

My paternal grandparents were 1st gen. Volga Germans and could speak that dialect. They were head and shoulders above the local hillbillies when they moved to SEK, farmed with tractors.

I didn't realize Indian Americans were the second largest immigrant group in the country after Mexican Americans. I would have guessed Chinese Americans were the second largest group. It's also interesting that Indian Americans seem to spread out around the country(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Americans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Americans)) while Chinese Americans are mostly concentrated in California and New York, which probably influences my perception(I travel to NYC and CA way more often than I visit Chicago/DC/Dallas/Houston).
The Freedom Convoy coming down from Alberta in the American west is also interesting.

There are tons of Indian/Sikh truck drivers out on the west coast. When I was in the transportation industry we would have to give our customers a heads up that prices were going up/availability would be limited during this one week in June where it was basically the Sikh new year and all of them took the week off.
While we are talking about trucking we used to call all Eastern Europeans "Russians" and they are like 90% of the drivers based out of Chicago aka the Trucking hub of america. I'm sure some of them were actual russians but most of them were other slavic people like Poles/Croats/etc but they all got lumped together...Anyways Vlad never gave a eff about the rules and would YOLO 24 hrs straight to deliver a load even though it was designated as a "team load" meaning 2 drivers. He could just pocket the extra money minus the meth that kept him up. ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices, basically they track how long you drive) became mandatory in 2018ish and all of a sudden rates on team drive loads went through the roof.
I'm rambling but the point of the story is alot of immigrant communities work in the trucking industry because you can make decent money but the lifestyle sucks.

I don't get "gray" unless they are spelling it "grey," and I wouldn't even count that as a misspelling.

I did not know that the murals in Hale Library at KSU were connected to the WPA.
Quote
From the Kansas State University website: “David Hicks Overmyer painted the four Historic Farrell Library [now Hale Library] murals in 1934 as part of the federal government’s Public works of Art Project. Each of these murals is 11’ x 14’ and their subjects symbolize the four major academic pursuits of the institution at the time: science and industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, the arts, and home economics.
Overmyer, an illustrator, artist, and muralist, was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1889 and died there in 1973. He has murals in several other Kansas sites including courthouses in Ft. Scott and Norton, Topeka High School, and the State Capital Building.” (http://www.lib.k-state.edu)
The murals hang in what is now called the Great Room of the Hale Library. They have been recently restored and are now in excellent condition.

SAME TRIP I flew Frankfurt to Denver and went straight over the arctic and they said that you needed to be aware if you were pregnant because you were getting shitloads of solar rays or whatever because it was on the poles where the ozone lets all that in. What? they don't teach that in school.

Isn't Nebraska actually just doubly land locked? IIRC, you can sail from Lake Michigan to the Atlantic Ocean in like 7000 days, tops.
You need locks/rivers to do it. by your logic you could count anything touching the Mississippi as not landlocked.

If you think about it too much, the idea breaks down. On the surface, though, pretty amazing.

Yeah, if you want to be technical, that purple would extend up to the Indiana/Ohio border and everything west of Ohio and Michigan would fit in that purple, but this is cleaner and gets the point across

I would love to ride this beast from Manhattan to Kansas City (you have to click thru the length to see the train):
Quote
In the lengthening shadows of an October afternoon, UP local 70 pauses at Manhattan, Kansas, to unload express and a few passengers before resuming its journey to Kansas City. Originating in Denver the night before as mixed 370, the train dropped its freight in Ellis, Kansas, leaving a handful of head-end cars and coaches to finish the run behind F7A 1482 and what appears to be an F9mB. The lead unit is formerly EMD 459D, one-fourth of an ABBA demonstrator set that in late 1952 barnstormed C&NW and N&W before being refurbished and sold to UP.

Post by: Sandstone Outcropping on July 27, 2023, 07:26:12 PM
cool photo! there was apparently no levee back then, must have flooded all the time.Yes. That trail is part of the former "Pueblo Main" - a mainline of the Missouri Pacific between Kansas City and Pueblo, CO (follows KS-96 in far western KS). There are still a few boxes that housed signaling equipment. I believe the sign for a location known as "Lake" (Lake Siding) is still in place along the trail between Council Grove and Bushong. Several of the locations on this part of the line were given baseball-themed names -- "Comiskey""Bushong". There are a few places out in pastures along the trail where you can seen parts of stone bridges that were used for earlier, less flat/straight alignments of the railroad. Planning to meet up with with a friend for a ride there in a couple of weeks.

Well, I guess the google pin just goes right on the current track. Interestingly enough it’s basically equidistant between Delphos and Minneapolis.
There was an odd thing by one of the rivers/creeks around there, that may have been a right of way at one time tho. Then I think the river maybe shifted or something.

I didn’t ever eat peanuts at Ada Grain, or drink pop there. I remember Ada having a cafe and a few other small businesses when I was prob 5 or 6.
I did work at the co-op/Ada Grain for Ray for a summer before and after harvest, that was the Minneapolis location by the river that got torn down. watched one of the elevators burn down during a baseball game too.
Man, once we could drive we explored a good chunk of rural Ottawa county.

Not sure if this is what you have in mind but below is a link to a 1902 Ottawa County plat book from the KS Historical Society. If you search this site, you can find plat maps for most KS counties from various years. This shows where the lines were built with more detail for passing tracks, depots and stockyards inside the various towns. A big red Delorme atlas will show active and abandoned lines relative to contemporary roadways if they were abandoned within the last 30 years or so. There is a company called SPV that prints an atlas that shows all railroad lines ever built but not roads. Railroads of Ottawa Co were: Union Pacific Plainville Branch which passed thru Culver and Tescott in SW OT Co (abandoned after 1993 floods), Union Pacific Solomon Branch that runs from Solomon to Beloit and is still used by the Kyle Railroad and ATSF Barnard Branch that went from Manchester in Dickinson CO to Barnard in Lincoln County (abandoned in 1980s) and the ATSF line from Strong City KS to Superior, NE that just clips the NE corner of the county (still in use - largely bringing unit trains down from Concordia). Sometimes google maps help, when looking for old railroad features as wellYou can see some old railroad bridge pilings along the blacktop between Wells and Minneapolis from the old line that used to go over to Barnard.

Contact the county register(I think that the name, basically whoever keeps tracks of deeds/land ownership) and they will send you a copy of everyone who has owned that land before. I did it for the cat ranch in western KS.ty v much. Wasn't so much interested in Ottawa county but more local to my county in NC Kansas.There is a lot of information contained in the plat books. For example, I just learned that JD Bowersock (as in Bowersock Hydroelectric Dam in Lawrence) used to own land in western Saline County in 1903.

just pretend DC is Chicago
I don't really know what "Chicago style" is, either. And I've been there quite a bit.

When I was a student, I really enjoyed how dense and compact Manhattan is. As an old, it's why I'll never move back there until I'm maybe a really old. I say that currently living in the one American city most closely compared to Manhattan. I can literally go weeks without having to see or deal with large groups of 19 year olds and all that entails, I could never imagine that happening in Manhattan.

Interesting lack of Mississippians, esp considering proximity to UT and Alabama
Small in-state population, and probably pretty strong pull to stay in state, especially w a good recruiter like Kiffin at Old Miss and the chance to play vs “the best in SEC.”
Michigan’s presence along the eastern seaboard. Alabama too.
Washington’s presence in Bay Area and LA is not surprising. It’s also interesting that UW’s players are basically all from Seattle area or the two big California metros. Non-Seattle recruits from Wash and Oregon must all go to UO, Wazzu and OSU.
The amount of dudes from California, especially from LA, going to all four schools is pretty interesting.

I've never thought about it that way, but yes. Humans are domesticated animals.
Speak for yourself. I'm wild af.
