Please note state lines were disputed as depicted. Notably NH had older claims to the VT territory claimed by NY. And this list isn't all inclusive, there were many small fights.

I just recently learned about the website CalTopo and how you can create maps to print out. It's exciting to me because I can create maps based on UTM instead of Lat Long. I have been looking for a solution for a while and am glad to have found this. You can change the scale, the map type, overlays, and more. I had a local store print one on tear and water resistant paper too.

Just wanted to share with the community.

In the map it can be clearly seen that the unemployment is higher in Wallonia than in Flanders. This is largely due to the fact that Wallonia has historically relied on its heavy industry, such as steel and coal, which has moved abroad the last decades. In fact, the Sambre and Meuse valley which was the industrial heartland in Belgium thanks to its coal resources, can be clearly seen on the map.

It is also interesting to see how the distribution of unemployment has changed throughout the years, as seen on these maps: !
