Cartography At Its Finest

We are studying earthquakes in my Natural Hazards class, so when this map showed up on the teacher's power point presentation the other day, at first I just looked at the red areas and ignored everything else, but then the girl next to me drew my attention our wonderful state of Mississippi. I wasn't aware we'd acquired new territory.

Whoever made the map thought that the border for mississippi was the river all the way to the mouth. I don't know that that has ever been the border in the whole time we've been a state and/or a territory...

I started reading and got to "red areas" and looked down at the map. I thought, MS sure looks peculiar.

Then I finished reading.

It looks like Mississippi is pregnant and the baby has dropped!
