Look at The Atlantick getting all fancy on us, a CK at the end is like wearing tails and top hat, maybe even a monocle. Perhaps even a step further back, all the way to powdered wig.
The British also zoned out in the middle of crossing Michigan’s upper peninsula, and didn’t realize how far they’d travelled, just like driving the Seney Stretch

Florida: “It was really cold that day!”
“Sunken land and dismal swamps” - what’s in that area now?
It’s actually got a huge area of land called The Great Dismal Swamp. Lots of park land and wilderness in rural Virginia. Someone from the area may be able to weigh in on it. I passed through years ago and the name struck me as hilarious.
If you’ve ever been in southern VA in the summer you’ll understand the name “Dismal.” It is nice that we have protected wetlands though.
It’s actually a wetlands/swamp that stretches from Norfolk into north Carolina. Most people don’t really realize that most of the area south of the Mid-Atlantic coast was at one point all swamp/marsh. The Great dismal swamp was nearly 3 times as large only a couple hundred years ago.
Looks like the name stuck!

The st Lawrence River is a lot like the Mediterranean in that if it was a Fantasy map it would not look realistic enough
TIL northern Ohio was once the Nation of Cat and destroyed by the Iroquois.
I guess it was hard to map out ish on the west/east axis which is why Florida is janky. Things look a lot more proportional north/south
