A Woodblock Map Of U. S. Counties

Creating an entire map of the U.S. out of wood would be hard enough, but creating it out of counties is just insane. This map was put together after intricately cutting the distinct shape of each county from wood. And if you're wondering how many counties there are in the continental U.S., it's actually more than 3,000 in total. You can also kind of tell what areas are more populated by the number of blocks.

Most of the western U.S. contains larger, probably less populated counties, while the further east you go, the more counties there are. Of course, the west coast also contains a lot of smaller counties.
