Maps can be useful when it comes to locating a town or learning about an area. However, some maps are less useful than others.
Here are 50 maps that are great for a laugh but probably not so helpful when it comes to getting from point A to point B.
#1 Famous for
There are a lot of maps that show what states are famous for. Usually, itโs not a bunch of faces. We hope you like your stateโs celebrity. There are no refunds.

#2 Duck, duck, go
If you turn North America and South America on their side, you get a duck. Maybe this is the way the map should really be.

#3 Winner!
Well, the US does always win the Super Bowl. We guess this proves that you have to play to win.

#4 Feline Earth
It turns out that if you squirt or get out a marker, the continents are actually a cat. As for Australia, itโs now a ball that cat has been playing with. Hey, we always knew cats ruled the earth. Now thereโs proof.

#5 Not so favorite
Usually, maps focus on what states are famous for. In this case, itโs based on what (or who) they hate.

#6 Miley
Miley is great. Cyprus is great. However, if we never have to see the two together again like this, that would be great.

#7 All South America
Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if it were nothing but South America? Now you know.

#8 Too far north
When youโre in Antarctica, even the southern portion (wherever that may be) is going to feel like the north. That could lead to some very confusing directions.

#9 Challenge accepted
It can be challenging to know where every country on the planet is. This is a map of all of the places Americans thought were Iran.

#10 Bad neighbor
Well, now we know what France really thinks about Belgium. We hope theyโre at least sharing some of the electricity from the nuclear plant.

#11 Short trip
Sometimes, you just want to go see the world. Other times, you only have half a tank of gas. Hereโs the solution.

#12 The UK
Some say that people in the United Kingdom like to drink. This map of bars (better known as pubs to the locals) makes it hard to argue against.

#13 Vegetable land
Are you a potato person or a tomato person? Choose wisely. Apparently, you would have to live on the border between the two lands to have both.

#14 At least we can spell Iceland
This map of Iceland makes an ordinary spelling test seem like a piece of cake. Never mind spelling them; how do you pronounce any of those towns?

#15 Candy!
Now, this is getting into the good stuff. Who doesnโt like Halloween candy?

#16 Italy
Italians know their food. They also seem to be acutely aware of everyone elseโs food as well.

#17 Australia
Australia may be furrier than you realize. And you thought they were only known for crocodiles and koalas.

#18 Center of the world
This is what our maps would look like if Antarctica were placed at the center. Itโs actually kind of beautiful.

#19 Well, itโs true
Here is a map of something that couldnโt possibly have happened. I hope everyone now feels better informed.

#20 Nice people
No, France isnโt full of mean people. That tiny dot just happens to be the city of Nice.

#21 Whatโs your brand?
Every state is famous for something. Here are the brands that each state is most famous for.

#22 When youโre technically bigger than a planet
This is a depiction of Australia and Pluto. Maybe Earth really is bigger than we give it credit for.

#23 Oh, Canada!
Have you ever wondered how many times the population of Canada can fit into the United States? Well, now you know

#24 World flag
Itโs actually kind of interesting and beautiful, if you can get over the fact that it also looks like the printer is slowly failing and running out of ink.

#25 No lizards for you
Some places just get all of the cool stuff. The only cool stuff Canada gets is snow. Snow is super cool. In fact, itโs below freezing.

#26 Ice and ire
Now, thatโs punny. How many countries can say that? Weโre guessing there arenโt many.

#27 Is this Canada?
Someone decided to measure parts of Canada to see how Canadian they were. This was the result.

#28 Cats vs. Dogs
This is just a map of the popularity of cats versus dogs.

โIโm just here to make puns about Mew York and Catlifornia. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.โ

Have you ever looked at a map and thought, โthis needs a dinosaurโ? Youโre in luck.

#30 Minnesota
We all have those days when we feel like we just canโt blend into the crowd. Minnesota has that feeling every time they go to grab a cup of coffee.

#31 Color blind
Warning! These are locations where they really might not have seen the yellow light at the intersection.

#32 Waffles!
Here is a map of what part of the country to go to when youโre hungry. Youโre welcome.

There is always one place that has to be different. In this case, itโs Poland.

#34 Very important information
Admit it, you just compared the color of your jeans to the part of the map youโre from. Well, do they match up?

#35 Finding Kentucky
If you ever have trouble locating Kentucky on a map, just use this nifty trick. All you have to do is find the chef.
#36 When reality interjects
Holding hands around the world is a really sweet idea. However, thereโs this little thing called the ocean.
#37 Not Indonesia
Clearly, if there are Indonesians, then there must be Outdonesians. Right?
#38 Manโs best friend
Just in case you were having trouble, we found this handy map to dogs. The treat detector is an especially important area of the canine topography.
#39 Kangaroo legality
Just in case you have ever wanted to own a kangaroo, here are the states itโs legal in. However, we still donโt recommend owning a kangaroo. When they kick, it hurts!
#40 So close
If only that one county didnโt have to show off and be twice as big as the rest. Oh well.
#41 Distance from the coast
Are you unsure of how far you are from the coast? This heatmap will help you to figure out if youโre just a short distance away or really far from any beaches.
#42 Turkey!
Map humor can be funny, really. We just hope Turkey thinks so too.
#43 Not the short route
Usually, we use maps to find the shortest route to a destination. Occasionally, we use them to find the scenic route. This, however, is taking it a step too far.
#44 Springfield!
Just in case you still havenโt figured out which Springfield the one in the Simpsons is based on, now you can go and visit them all to find out for yourself. Are you ready for a road trip?
#45 Too many maps
We already knew that about the green area. This may win the prize for pointless maps.
#46 Electricity in 1507
For some reason, electrical consumption was extremely low in 1507. We wonder, could it be because it wasnโt invented yet?
#47 For life
This is a very nice tattoo for a mortal being. However, if you happen to be immortal, you might regret it someday.
#48 Dang!
Do you say dang? We might be able to tell based on what state you live in.
#49 It wants to be a map
Maybe itโs a map of the water drains. Hey, you never know.
#50 Air bases
There werenโt many air bases in the second century (zero, exactly). However, that didnโt stop someone from making a map for them anyway.
