I’ve always loved maps. Maybe it’s my love for all things visual, or maybe it’s the fact you can sit and ponder over places, landmarks, and locations for hours upon hours. Either way, there’s something so fascinating about maps. North Carolina is sure to have a few ‘basic’ maps, but some maps are downright hilarious while others are cute, hand-drawn gems that illustrate the true beauty of our state. Either way, check out these 15 below.
