Lake Superior?
Not a map, but things I've seen on the roads in Boston:
- Left turn only from left lane, straight or left from 2nd lane, straight or left from 3rd lane
- Green light and perpendicular traffic coming to me on the cross street, also going, because they also have a green light
- Two lanes, surprise! Lane markers go away it's one lane, not defined who yields, you guys can work it out
Navigated Boston a few times using only a road map (long time ago). My spouse and I always cite it as proof our relationship can handle anything.
~~Were you able to find car parking in Harvard Yard?~~
Couldn't even find Havard.
I'm from Boston and this is painfully accurate. Especially the last line. My last job was a delivery job and me and the other person were constantly questioning if it was one lane or two.
That website gave me cancer
I just like those moments on Google Street view when there are people looking right into the Google camera.
Oh, like me? When I saw it coming and threw my arms up and stared at it as it passed.

Florida
"This is Florida! The whole goddamn state is shaped like a gun! You can't walk to your mailbox without tripping over three of them. God forbid you sell one to a cop!"
There's a town near where I used to live called Garbutt, it has less than ten residents.
Not "crazy" per se, but west of the Mississippi, cities are set up on a grid, whereas eastern cities look like their planning was established by throwing a plate of spaghetti at a wall.
Finland has many, but the big penis-shaped river is pretty good.
Edit: only discussion that is in English is over at Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/10zg4rz/in_finland_we_have_a_river_shaped_like_an/

I canβt remember where it was, but I used to work at a title company. We processed a refinance on βWhiskey Dick Lnβ.
