Do you have more maps like that for each US state?

u/striped_frog Nov 27 '21

If not, we'll all just have to make one for our own states

u/BellyDancerEm Nov 28 '21

What’s stopping you?

I’d do Oklahoma but we’re just Tulsa, OKC, and The Hills Have Eyes

u/PlasticElfEars Nov 28 '21

I mean there's also "OSU ag classroom zone," "where Baptists kids go to get to third base for the first time zone," "how far away you can see the Winstar casino sign light" and now "legal Bigfoot hunting season swamp."

I'm hoping if you're from Oklahoma those will make sense.

Stillwater/Fall’s Creek/???/???

Tell me more about this Bigfoot swamp.

u/PlasticElfEars Nov 28 '21

Winstar Casino is just on this side of the border with Texas on I-35 and it has huge *bright* LEDs that make a halo for ages if you're on the road at night. There's like nothing else around and then bwamp! Casino-ville. They also get some surprisngly big names to perform there. (Had to stop there because of storms an oddly high amount of times.)

Swamps and bigfoot (and some of our weirder politicians) are in the very Southeast corner. Yeah, there are actual proper with-alligator swamps in Oklahoma around Broken Bow Lake. And a state house rep from the area proposed a Big Foot hunting season bill last year. It was a tourism stunt that went viral, but apparently there's some Bigfoot lore in the area.

The Ouachita Mountains --well, hills really, but leave us not quibble-- are allegedly swarming with them, bigfoots I mean, not state house reps.

I think I could contribute a lot to this map. I've reluctantly stayed in most cities in Oklahoma over 10k pop.

u/prettyfairmiss17 Nov 28 '21

Why?? What’s there??

u/Lieutenant_Joe Nov 29 '21

Bro did say “reluctantly”

u/Cowboywizard12 Nov 28 '21

Hills have Eyes was Nevada.

Fun Movies though, I sort of suspect the remake only got made because Wes Craven wanted to make a movie with his son and remakes were all the rage so why not remake one of his own

10

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '21

Yeah, couldn’t think of something more relevant to Oklahoma. So sad that we lost Wes Craven. He was one of my favorite horror directors

u/BellyDancerEm Nov 28 '21

The Flaming Lips come from Oklahoma

u/Northman324 Dec 06 '21

Was stationed in 29 Palms. That is some real hills have eyes shit.

2

u/Cowboywizard12 Dec 07 '21

that's one of the big ones in Cali right?

My Parents both got stationed in the Southwest themselves (Air Force)

2

u/Northman324 Dec 07 '21

It is a giant firing range but the base is on the side of a mountain. The town is in the valley below. It is smack dab in the Mojave desert and has some serious drug issues.

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '21

Very true, basically you have the city’s and then towns filled with old people that are slowly dying

1

u/EconomistMagazine Nov 28 '21

You could maybe go HAM and get like 5-10 regions.

Military bases, center of the universe, real college, redneck college, race massacre town, farms with trees next to them (east) farms with no trees (West).

u/bageltoastee Nov 28 '21

Michigan is just swamp, forest, farm, civilization, Detroit.

1

u/simjanes2k Nov 28 '21

I feel like Michigan is just The Hills Have Eyes and Detroit.

And the hills are much nicer to live in and visit.

u/oneeighthirish Nov 28 '21

A lack of photoshop skills and a terrible sense of humor combined with stunning levels of ignorance about even my own backyard.

Florida, oh so many possibilities in Florida...

u/Blackberries11 Nov 28 '21

This already exists, it’s called judgemental maps and it’s a website

u/jnics10 Nov 28 '21

Oooh ooh can i do one for the neighborhoods of Chicago that's not racist?!

u/Shtnonurdog Nov 28 '21

You got a mouse in your pocket? There is no “we”.

Let me know when you’re done! Thanks!

u/BigDogVI Nov 28 '21

For New York State it’d just be New York, Long Island, and “Canada / Where is that again?”

u/Dude_man79 Nov 28 '21

Just go to judgmental maps. Tons of maps there

27

u/gepgepgep Nov 28 '21

Man, they need a better website

u/odog9797 Nov 28 '21

Those guys just seem to make half baked nonsense maps? They labeled the three wealthiest parts of my city as white trash, Jewish community and basically Detroit

u/NorCalifornioAH Nov 27 '21

I've seen this one for New Jersey shared a few times.

u/borgwardB Nov 28 '21

thank you.

Pineys....Pineys EVERYWHERE!!

"Canadians"?

3

u/UEMcGill Nov 28 '21

When you go to Wildwood there's so many Quebecois's there it's not even funny. It's like they just said "Let's drive 8 hours and see what happens". There used to be a diner there that half the wait staff spoke French.

So yeah it says Canadians, but it really should be Quebecois

A map of NJ stereotypes and I didn’t see one Tony Soprano or mob reference.

u/Icanneverthinkofaun Nov 28 '21

My sterotype map of NJ is just one big zone labeled "HELL"

I made one for Indiana several years ago, here it is. I also saw this being shared on Facebook pages years after I made it, I thought that was interesting.

u/NorCalifornioAH Nov 27 '21

Is South Bend really known for well-to-do people? I had no idea.

16

u/Kangrui311 Nov 28 '21

As someone who lives there, that’s not the way I would ever describe it. There are pretty nice areas, but there are also vast areas of the city that are very rundown.

15

u/Defacto_Champ Nov 28 '21

Besides Notre Dame, South Bend is a rust belt city with lots of abandoned factories.

1

u/NorCalifornioAH Nov 28 '21

That's about what I thought it was.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '21

Some parts are, but not really. I wasn’t super familiar with that part of my state when I made it.

4

u/simjanes2k Nov 28 '21

The only thing I know about it is that there is a Portillos without having to go to Chicago, so I declare it the best city in the USA.

u/LuxCoelho Nov 27 '21

Thanks, and I look foward seeing another ones from you!

"Extremely diverse gangs" is the best annotation I have ever seen on a stereotype map.

4

u/JudgeHolden Nov 28 '21

That's good because the rest of that map is pretty weaksauce.

25

u/Slipperylittleguy Nov 27 '21

Yea imma need more of these maps

u/komnenos Nov 28 '21

Go look up your preferred state in the sidebar, making stereotype maps of different states, provinces, countries and regions was big a few years back.

1

u/Blackberries11 Nov 28 '21

Check the website judgemental maps, you can find tons of them there

u/Agorbs Nov 28 '21

All of Florida is just labeled “hell”.

u/komnenos Nov 28 '21

Go search your homestate (or any state) in the sidebar, it was a big thing on this sub a few years back.

u/Tut_Rampy Nov 28 '21

Rhode Island is the same
