The 1959 Shift in the Geographic Center of the United States | When Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as states to the United States in 1959, the geographic center of the United States shifted from near Lebanon, Kansas to near Belle Fourche, South Dakota. The center moved northwest, approximately 354 miles/570 km northward and 265 miles/426 km westward. (The northward vector is about 33% greater than the westward vector.) However many people have asked me over the years why it wasn't more to the west (i.e. expecting the westward vector to be much greater than the northward vector). I think this is due to the errant "viewing Earth as a rectangle with north at the top" paradigm, where Alaska's and Hawaii's relative positions on such a map would suggest a much larger westward vector. On the left is a Mercator projection with north at the top. The pre-1959 bounding rectangle is shown in orange and the post-1959 bounding rectangle is shown in yellow. I think people were expecting the shift to be approximately the red arrow when it is actually the green arrow. On the right is a map I made using the azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the north pole. A great circle connecting the pre- and post-1959 center appears as a straight line that divides the area of the United States in half. Any straight line through the pre-1959 center should divide the 48 contiguous states in half, and any line through the post-1959 center should divide the United States in half (for example, the perpendicular line also shown). People I've shown this map (on the right) to have said it was much more intuitive and made better sense. What do you think? submitted by /u/Massive-Orange-5583 [link] [comments] | |

Comparison of presidential election results along the Texas border in 2004 vs 2024 | Despite Bush's dominant 23-point 2004 win in his home state, the Texas border was actually REDDER in 2024 despite the state itself being significantly more Democratic in 2024 compared to 2004 (Texas has progressively become more Democratic every year, mostly isolated to the major cities, while the border has progressively become more Republican). You can see that the only places where Bush struggled in 2004 in Texas was along the border and in Austin and Houston. Bush even took counties representing San Antonio and Dallas. Bush had an abnormally progressive view on the border, even after 9/11, specifically due to his close business ties to Mexico. (He tried to pass border reform legislation and failed due to Republican resistance.) You can see that by 2024, San Antonio, Dallas, multiple Austin counties, and multiple Houston counties were blue while the Texas border and Rio Grande Valley, which is almost exclusively Hispanic, turned red. submitted by /u/wildcat1100 [link] [comments] | |
