This is a fabulous map—but is the statement true?

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

I present this map without any context to my students and ask the question: is this statement true?  How can we ascertain the truthfulness of this claim?  What fact would we need to gather?  This exercise sharpens their critical thinking skills and harnesses the assorted bits of regional information that they already have, and helps them evaluate the statement.

For some answers to these questions can be found here.
