We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Oh I was wrong. I’m even closer than that. It’s not a town or anything, just an area? No one lives there really, just a lot of farmland, though neighborhoods are popping up there now. Only thing of note is that there’s a Distillery that takes it’s namesake from Sugar Tit that’s located there.

what’s the logic in this? Hiking probably plays a small part but surely not all of it

Correlation does not prove causation, so likely just an interesting coincidence but still interesting. Here's the article I pulled the map from.
I felt the same way with only including Minneapolis. Yeah I know the 5 burrows are part of 1 city and MPLS and St Paul are 2 separate cities, but for the most part everyone considers the two cities as a single entity.

thats the consensus on the reddit thread, that all the cities are part of a larger metro area but then so is LA. The map only shows the LA City boundaries not the county or even the metro area.
But I thought it was interesting because I was thinking similar thoughts when I drove across the country last month, we'd drive though some major cities in like 15/20 minutes and that drive time will get you maybe only 1/2 to 1/4 way into LA.

also geography adjacent at best, but I've always appreciated the simplicity of this interstate system map. it really helps to illustrate how the numbering system works with 5's and 0's and once you see it like this it's easy to fit in those oddball interstates like the 8 in San Diego and the 805/405 in LA and the 680/880 in the bay area (which are other interesting tidbits on their own)

I didn’t realize how long some of the interstates are .

Many moons ago when I was in college, I worked for the South Dakota Dept of Transportation for an internship for 2 summers. I made maps using ArcGIS and learned way more than I needed to about roads and construction.
The interstate numbering convention is pretty simple and amazing. Even numbered are east west routes, odd numbered are north south routes. Low numbers start in the west and south and increase as you head east and north. Also, 3 digit interstates are numbered based on the main interest ate it comes from. 3 digit odd numbers are “spurs” while 3 digit even numbers are “loops” For example, in the twin cities, I94 is the main east/west interstate. We have 3 separate interstates that split off it: I394, I494, and I694.
I394 is a spur of I94. I494 and I694 create a continuous loop around the city. 494 is th southern half of the loop while 694 is the northern half.
Seeing an Interstate called the 405 tells me that it’s a loop of the I5.
And interestingly, US highways use the opposite system order. East / West roads are still even and North / South roads still odd, but the low numbers start in the North and East so that interstates and US Highways don’t have similar numbers in the same geographical areas.

Thanks. I see a few people in here talk about using GIS for their work and it brings back memories. I had no formal training but they showed me what they needed and part of the job was creating all sorts of state road maps. For the longest time the maps I had created were still on the SDDOT website which was pretty cool.
The other half the internship was actually driving around the state at 15mph reviewing all the highways. My family called it “crack counting”. Let’s just say, I’ve driven on 95% of all South Dakota highways (interstate, US, and State) at 15mph looking for things like transverse cracks, rutting, patches, etc.

At Georgetown's School of Foreign Service, you have to take a class called Map of the Modern World in which the goal is to learn the name, capital, and colonial history of every country on the globe. There are no papers and no assignments until a final exam at the end of the semester. I skipped so many classes in that course, and studying for that final was my very first all-nighter. I got a 98...but trying this quiz, I've obviously lost SO MUCH of what I knew back then.
Side note, this was the most helpful study aid I employed for that test:
