Part of the Westbank is to the east of the river.

Kazakhstan and Mongolia don't share a border, but they're about 23 miles apart.

OP, out of curiosity, what were you using to mark the distances

and do the writing on that map you posted?

Ecuador is on the equator.

In 20 years there won't be much left of the Chandaleur islands. The map you used might not even have land now where you measured from or the numbers might be slightly off.

Odd thing to fap to, but to each his own, I guess.

Bonus Fun Geography:

Youngstown, Ohio is further east than Savannah, Georgia.
Both are neat factoids

I worked a job in Mobile a few years ago and was there for about two weeks. I was surprised to find that the old downtown area of Mobile looked very much like the French Quarter. In fact, some historians claim Mardi Gras started in Mobile. The people were nice and the food (a lot of seafood) was good, just bland. If you ever visit, just pack some Tony's and you're set.
The fun part was watching the Auburn and Bama fans square off during the Iron Bowl. Best friends until kick off time. Once the game started, they cussed each other like they were mortal enemies.

There was a great series a couple of years ago called "How the States Got Their Shapes." I geeked out on the entire series.

Just curious about how those islands are claimed by Louisiana.
Since the closest landmass they are near is, well, The Landmass, or Mississippi.
