For a while now, funny maps of the United States have been making their way around the internet – and we are always curious to see how the Shire is portrayed. These 7 maps show just what the rest of the country thinks of us (and we think of ourselves). Get ready for a few laughs and a little bit of truth!
- The New Hampshire stereotype:
Mic.com Okay, there are definitely some rich hippies in New Hampshire but this one just does not seem accurate overall. Aren’t they all in Western Massachusetts?
- Look out for zombie Robert Frost!
Pleated Jeans This is an extremely specific thing to be afraid of, don’t you think? We’ve never heard of any encounters…
- Apparently the British think very highly of us.
Robin Edds/Buzzfeed Buzzfeed asked some Brits to label a blank map of the US, and this person really went for it with New Hampshire. We’ll take the increased prominence, but hello, we are definitely not Southern.
- We’re doing way better than other states.
Tumblr/Ilya Gerner New Hampshire has the least poverty, according to this map. That’s much more positive than zombie Robert Frost!
- Tom Brady is innocent!
Estately This map of the most Googled search terms by state in 2015 shows how much New Hampshire cares about the Patriots. See Massachusetts? We are the ultimate fans.
- The Brawny man is our spirit ‘stache:
Estately The Brawny man’s mustache, like him, is tough and able to handle a mess. Sounds like a New Hampshirite to us!
- Google knows our pain.
Twitter/Amazing_Maps This map of Google search autocompletes reminds us just how expensive it can be to live in the Granite State. At least we don’t have income tax.
Which of these maps rings truest for you? We just hope it isn’t the one the British guy labeled – if so, maybe consider a bit of a geography refresher.
