This is a map of what America will look like after Civil War II.
Love maps. And love historic and antique maps.
Where did you find that?
I
love it!
Its dated 1937. Its looks like that vintage.
It depicts "political boundries,and major Zeppelin routes".
But its definitely some kind of political satire of the time, because its fanciful by both that time and now.
I wonder who made it, and why.
On a satirical level some of the redrawings still make sense. I like how he lumps the Canadian Maritime provinces with upper New England into one country. Joel Garreu's best selling "The Nine Nations of North America" of 1981 made a similar slicing of the pie.
Other details are puzzling. Like the northern Prairie states (from Kansas to the border of Dakota and Canada) are labeled "the People's Collective" as if they were destined to become one big pinko commie commune. There was a lot of socialist thinking is some parts of the midwest, and Milwaukee even had a socialist mayor. But then and now the northern prarie states are considered part of the Bible Belt, and tend to vote GOP.
But I agee with the map maker about one thing! America should go back to Zeppelins. Non flammable helium filled (not hydrogen like the Hindenburg) and powered by solar cells. It would get us off middle east oil, and if you hijacked a zeppelin and flew it into a skyscraper it would just bounce off like a nerf ball! So what if they only go a 100 mph? Our lifestyle could use a little slowing down.
