I love how the only geographic points of importance on the smaller map are pikes Peak and the Mississippi river, everything else can get bent lol

Fuck yeah! Pikes Peak! What a magnificent fucking peak. That beautiful peak rises up out of the ground like some mythical guardian. When it's snow capped, it is the perfect representation of American something or other.

Whoever drew that mini USA was like, “yes I have seen a map before. What are you talking about?”

Hi from r/Alaska! This gets posted frequently and yes, it's a novelty item. I bought some in bulk and gave them out for Christmas a few years ago. Here's a link:

> Alaska mapmakers revenge! This Alaska map alludes tongue-in-cheek to the afterthought treatment of Alaska by many map publishers in placing Alaska in a small box off the coast of California on maps of the “United States of America.” This accurate and detailed (for the Alaska portion) map measures 17 x 25 inches and is printed on medium weight archival paper (8 mil/170 gsm, matte finish) and is suitable for framing. It includes a table of information comparing Alaska with the lower 49. Printed in Alaska. Mailed in a tube.

Alaska is something like 99% wilderness. One of the most beautiful places on earth. Visited a few years ago and I can’t wait to go back. Amazing place.
