minus-squareAA5B@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 days agoLooking at Long Island, I find it interesting that they chose the Hudson River as a natural boundary but apparently Long Island Sound is no big deal I can’t figure out what Rhode Island’s border is meant to be but it apparently doesn’t include Rhode Island
minus-squareItsPlasmaSir@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days ago100% agree. As an Oregonian, that border on the Willamette made me wanna cry. Literally no consideration of nature or people with that boundary, and yet it’s called a “natural border”.
