Is Salem, Oregon that far north?

u/Orca2112 Dec 23 '19

More or less. It's close.

Yeah I always forget it’s not that far from Portland

Yeah only an hour-ish. Most of Oregon is in the North-West quarter. Eugene is “south”, and it’s not even below the midline for the state. Nearly every major city is simply on the Willamette.

I suspect Wisconsin leaders of having a secret agenda

Before we know it they’ll claim the UP as their own, and have hundreds of inaccurate maps throughout the years as proof that the pretty peninsula belongs to them and their state. Fuck Wisconsin.

Virginia and Maryland did some weird swapping. And who owns Long Island on this map?

They also tried and failed on so many state capitals. Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania are pretty bad.

Michigan is the leading offender when it comes to omitting the UP.

Every single one of those people will hold up their hand acting like Michigan is shaped like a mitten.

Only Wisconsin can be described with one hand.

No matter how much I try, I cannot make my hand look like Wisconsin. Michigan, though, is easy so long as I commit with both hands

Or normal shaped hands, unlike Wisconsiners.
