    1. I love these maps because they show how dependent we were on water transportation for so long.

      When you drive from Michigan to the east coast you really get an understanding of how crazy of a journey people had in the past crossing huge rivers, canyons, and mountains.

      It should say overland, nobody was getting in a carriage from NYC to Philly or Boston or whatever, they’d take a boat along the coast.

      What’s with the random labels that don’t match the color gradient at all? And it even says it only takes one day to get to the north of Ontario. Is this AI slop?

      This really doesn’t seem accurate to me, if you wanted to travel from west of Appalachia to New York back then you’d probably travel by river to New Orleans then set sail for the city. Really the shortest travel times should be from major ports outside of a few areas along the post road.

    5. In the 1800 map it shows it took 4 weeks to get to Ohio and 2 weeks to Georgia but they are both colored tan. In fact, there are a few such cases on both maps of having different times on the same color. Am I missing something?
