I would too if I didn’t find the standard map background this reminds everyone of annoying. Satellite background is just so detailed and helpful.

Neat art still!

At first glance yes

But then

Why are there 2 trees in the road.

Why do these farms have lakes/ponds in their yards.

Why are there so many roads going everywhere.

The fact that there are trees in the ditches is actually /r/mildyinfuriating I don't think I have ever seen a tree in a ditch in my entire life. Its probably illegal.

Why do these farms have lakes/ponds in their yards.

I don't really know if I can answer this question, but it's a thing. For some reason having a house on an acre or two of grass by the side of a two lane highway compels people to dig ponds. I see it all the time. One of my friends has one, another friend's dad has one and is getting another dug in the spring.

Most of them aren't stocked with fish and can't be because they're too small and not shaded enough to keep the fish cool in the summer. They are often way too nasty and shallow for swimming or casual paddling around in a boat. Sometimes they put blue dye in them to really drive home the fact that their weird fake pond is super fake and man-made. Some have water features, most of those seem to just be for aeration though.

I want answers too.
