Done this before, but I was just looking at a map and a few occurred to me.
Where does the water in Niagara Falls come from, and where does it go?
From Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. I don’t know why I have this idea it’s on a river that spills more or less directly into the ocean.
You’re in Detroit, heaven help you. To escape across the river to Windsor, Ontario, you drive what direction?
Due south. I find that weird every time I notice it.
True or False: New Jersey is west of New York.
False, of course; Joisey is 99% south of Noo Yawk. But if you guessed wrong it’s probably because you think that tight zoom on Manhattan represents the whole.
There a region in what US State where 4 different US states are within 30 miles.
[spoiler]Extreme SE Missouri near New Madrid,
if you go NE, you will be in Illinois,
If you go East, you are in Kentucky,
if you got Southeast, you are in Tennessee,
and if you go WestSouthWest, you will be in Arkansas.
There are spots in Maryland (near Baltimore) that are within 50-60 miles of VA, NJ, DE, PA and WV
[/spoiler]
I find seemingly odd that, if you want to fly the shortest route from Los Angeles to Johannisburg, SA, you start out with your plane pointing slightly north east.
You’re in the center of the city of Los Algodones, Baja California, Mexico. What’s the first foreign country you hit if you go due north? Due south? Due east? Due west?
