It’s just satisfying to see heterogeneity in how our world works caused by the geography we live in. Like the center of oil exploration being in Tulsa, then when oil is discovered in the ocean the whole industry moves to Houston leaving Tulsa as this HUGE city with a ton of old money but a small population

the history of the people that come and go for the resources too is pretty nuts! Copper mines were huge in northern Michigan and there is still a massive Finnish population in the upper peninsula because of it; I believe the largest in the country too!

You can predict current voting patterns based off natural resource geography from 300 years ago
