Yes all 3,143 of them

Me and some acquaintances are developing a refined climate measurement system based off Koppen-Geiger, and one thing we wanted to do to split up the vast temperate category was to split between subtropical and temperate with a CMMT isotherm of 10-18C compared to 0-10C for temperate regions.

We believe this would work because while some temperate environments are hot or very hot summer they may still have cool if not cold winters and therefore it’s hard to call them subtropical due to a significant part of the year being cooler. Also, having a Cmmt in the 10-18C region helps better classify subtropical highland climates and differentiate them from the standard oceanic climates of mid latitude west coasts.

But what are your thoughts?

Hi! A friend of mine owns an old map that seems to be made of a fabric-like material. It has visible threads in areas where it has torn. The map has an aged look, but we’re curious about how old it might be. Names etc. are in Finnish. Only thing we know is that map is old school map and it's before 1917 because old border of Finland. Are there any experts here who could help us date it?

Thank you in advance!

Not sure this is the right community but I was scrolling around on maps and found this weird Bluetooth part of Kentucky that is completely surrounded by Tennessee and Missouri. It’s not even it’s own town though maps has it listed as part of Tiptonville Tennessee. Thought this was interesting and wanted some light shed on it.

When locating a city on say Goole or Apple maps, every time there is a pin point indicating where that city is located in the world. Are there any specific qualifications as to how a "geographical center" of a city is located or is it arbitrarily located with respect to something like population density that is updated every census?

Red = no, green = yes, purple = Liechtenstein.

This took too long

Id like to source some beautiful (ideally old) maps of places my wife and I have visited on our travels and print/frame them. Is there a good source for these anywhere online?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about something lately: so many famous paintings, especially landscapes, are based on real places. Like Cézanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire or Van Gogh’s Wheatfield with Crows—those are actual spots you can stand in today. But what about all the others? Where are they?

I’m curious to see if we could create a sort of crowdsourced map that links famous paintings to the real-world locations they depict. It’d be amazing to explore these places on a map, see how they’ve changed, or even visit them. Plus, there are probably some paintings where the locations are a mystery—maybe the community could help figure them out.

Does something like this already exist? I’ve looked around but couldn’t find anything quite like this. There are platforms like Google Arts & Culture and WikiArt, but they don’t seem to connect paintings to specific locations in this way.

If this sounds interesting to you, I’d love your input! Maybe you know of existing projects, or maybe you’ve spotted a place in a painting before. Either way, let me know—this feels like a fun thing to explore together.

Thanks for reading, and I’m excited to hear your thoughts!
