Pittsburgh is literally the Paris of Appalachia: [https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/P/bo265673399.html](https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/P/bo265673399.html)
All of West Virginia is Appalachian
That spur in central Kentucky is most certainly Appalachia, at least as far west as Hart and Edmonson County. As someone raised both there and in the shadow of the Smokies in east Tennessee, I can tell you the similarities far outnumber the differences.
Appalachian Regional Commission map is more about access to federal funding than cultural connection to Appalachia. While it overlaps significantly, you get some oddities like that spur in south central Tennessee which is cut off to the east from other counties which you might think should also be part of it. That’s because that spur was added in 2008 to access funding.
Also, maybe it’s my algorithm but there are a lot of these maps popping up, lately. Why do y’all care so much about us Appalachians now?
I see a fish
Western Pennsylvania absolutely is in Appalachia.
I love the ones thats just stop at Pennsylvania state line. Like nope we ain’t that ghetto.
I would have extended it all the way into Maine.
Well what are the 13 definitions!?
That’s cool, but what are the 13 different definitions?
I don’t know, doesn’t the trail run to Maine?

As someone who grew up in the Southern Tier of NY…I don’t know if it is actually Appalachia but it sure as hell is in spirit.
So Appalachia is like an onion. It has layers.
Atlanta sticking out like a sore thumb at the bottom end of the region lmao
Pennsylvania in denial
Hey, according to a single definition, I live in Appalachia!
I don’t understand how Augusta County VA is considered not Appalachia.
Type 1 must be “Mountainous Confederate Flag-Wavers”
Pennsylvania makes a lot more sense now
One thing to note is that JD Vance’s home county is not considered Appalachia in any of these definitions
ugh I hate the color gradient, too many layers stuffed into two colors (blue and green). To my eyes I can only see 7 actual used gradients but who knows. I grew up in this area but I can’t tell if the color for my county is 11?10?? Maybe 9?
