howdy folks,

i found this map and wanted to share it with the
group. i got this in college, my last free credit i
had to fulfill to graduate with my business degree i
took geography 101 for kicks (got the highest grade in
the class too) but enough showing off!

it is a scan of a photocopy so the quality isn't that
good but i actually kept it all these years because it
seemed incredibly accurate to me and equally
fascinating. Oklahoma in 3 distict regions??

i love cultural boundaries, even though not demarcated
and fixed like intl boundaries, or even
state/provincial boundaries, you still 'feel' like you
are somewhere different, even if sometimes you quite
can't put your finger on why it feels different.
that's what makes it so much fun for me. like flying
to florida. people there are so different (whats with
the fascination with nascar?).

I by the way am in the hippest area, region V-f.

my questions are:

1. does anyone know the source/author of this map? i'd
love to research further in my free time.
unfortunately the photocopy is all i got from the
professor (wysiwig). and six years back too.

2. european folks: anything like this you have for
europe that you are willing to share? my intuition
tells me that there are 3 major regions (germanic,
romance, slavic) with various others (greek, etc). i'd
love to see a european version of this.

have fun and hope the file isn't too big

victor
