Every state can have a little beach, as a treat.

Least gerrymandered election

Whoever made this underestimates the shore of a Great Lake, I see. Ohio and Michigan already have beaches.

But those aren’t oceans

Look man, I’ll get sick if i drink from Lake Erie same as if i drank from the ocean. Works for me

In some parts of Michigan you don’t even have to drink out of the lake. You can just drink out of your sink and get sick

No salt and no sharks, and all the beachy goodness.

As someone who grew up on the Great Lakes who now lives on the Pacific, they are not comparable.

You can’t get surfer hair without saltwater.

You can even turn into a human ice cube when you go in the water! (Love the great lakes)

After this map, Ohio no longer has a Great Lake Beach.
They’ll just be left with a salty proboscis through Mary’s West Virginia.

Michigan is stealing our BEACHES??!

TO WAR, I SAY! ⚔️

Michigan already stole the northern half of your state and you didn’t go to war, what’s a little more?

Yeah for MI this is an absolute win. Look at all that gained lakefront

Minnesota and Wisconsin too. And with the Eerie canal, they all have access to the ocean

If we’re just gonna start counting whether or not our waterways have access to the ocean, then pretty much every Midwestern state counts by way of the Mississippi’s drainage basin. 32 states have tributary rivers that find their way to the Mississippi, and then to the Gulf.

Incidentally, I love the detail in this map where the state of Mississippi no longer touches the Mississippi River, and the city of New Orleans is apparently divided across the states of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas.

And no shot Chicago is moving into Wisconsin without a civil war first.

Yeah, Chicago here. Fuck the ocean, give me back my lakeshore.

Edit: actually, if I’m still physically in Chicago, I guess it doesn’t matter overly much whether it’s Chicago, IL or Chicago, WI, though I think Illinois needs us more, from a political perspective.

The image says nothing about beaches, it’s just the title of the post.

Yeah we don’t need it, keep your east coast beaches.

I’m fine with this as long as the little strip is referred to as the state’s tentacle

The “proboscis like appendage”

Sounds like prime real estate

You can now drive through Minnesota for an entire day and not leave.

Grand Portage, MN to Brookings, OR is 35 hrs on the fastest route and 37hrs on the route closest to the map.

That would be three long days of driving for someone not cannonballing it.

Feels weird that MN doesn’t follow the Mississippi to the gulf. But it’s probably better this way

some days it feels like that now, just going through the cities.

Great, now everyone has more beach than poor NH
