Honestly it's so refreshing to hear a YouTuber say "yeah this series performed well, but it's draining for me/going stale so I'm just going to end it."

Excited to see what cartography nerds consider an amazing map, and glad you sent this series off with a bang before the series itself earned a Nope/10!

I've got another horrible map: 3:35

Goodbye, Horrible Maps. Gonna miss it… but god, textbooks, please stop giving this a reason to exist.

6:24 Not only are the borders absolutely abysmal, but the range map for the ANIMAL IT'S TALKING ABOUT is completely wrong! You can notice that the _indian_ gaur is noticeably vacant from INDIA

9:21 isn't yellow prussia a victoria thing lol

I love how Paradox Games set the colors for countries on the map like Russia being Green (or bright red if U.S.S.R.), France being dark Blue, Spain yellow, Italy bright green, and so on.

"Yellow Prussia"
Base game Victoria 2 wants to know your location

the red splotches in the sea in the map at 7:00 are because they did not overlay the range of the gaur correctly.
i did not know the range of it, but i looked it up since he mentioned the spots in the sea, and then i thought it was suspicious that a cow apparently lived in the arabian desert, and i realized that splotch was kind of shaped like india, and the other one in the middle kind of looked like burma.

What a journey this has been. We wish you luck

The last one is what would happen if Europe was colonized by Europeans.

I'm glad you ended the series on a high note instead of stringing it along until nobody wanted to watch it anymore.

I can't wait for awesome maps; it sounds interesting.

Would you consider criticizing fantasy or Althistory maps too?

[omniallie]

An excellent ending to an excellent series. RIP horrible maps

5:14 Nice!
🥲
Looking forward to the beautifull maps.

I will miss this series; however, I understand why this isn't continuing. That segment at 8:51 from "EmpErrorTijerstare" was the cherry on top. Great video, and I hope to see that "Awesome Maps" series exist soon!

[LordShadrach]

8:58 That Emp Error Ty Jere Stair map is horrible!!!!

[rewriting-history]

Let's go I didn't get featured! Great success!

6:54 that’s what happened with time ghosts map of axis held territory in January 1945. The map is mostly perfect but they accidentally moved the lakes and rivers layer really far to the west. The Volga river flows from Leningrad to the Black Sea. The Great Lakes are in Montana. Lake Ladoga is in the center of Finland. Lake bikal is in the wrong spot but I don’t know enough about that region to say where it is. I didn’t even know it was in the wrong spot until they pointed it out. Also, unrelated to that, for some reason part of East Prussia (specifically the modern borders of what is now the exclave of Kaliningrad) is part of the Baltic Sea

For a handful of years, I enjoyed watching (and laughing) at all of what you called "cringey cartography". Now, I am glad that you not only had the chance to give this series a send-off, but I am also looking forward to seeing all the _good_ maps you will show us in the future!

Thanks for making this video, and this series!

3:35 How ironic this is in a video about bad maps
