The town in Virginia where I-81 and I-77 meet is labeled as ‘Wyethville’ — it’s actually Wytheville.

@chris yates — at least i gave you credit at the top of the article. you didn’t have a copyright symbol on the map; i started from the version on another blog at strangemaps. I’ve restored your credit that got trimmed when i was making more room in the graphics file.

Sure, you have probably made the diagram somewhat more accurate, but also extremely difficult to look at. Also, this is a copyrighted work, why did you remove my name from my map?

Good luck! I would like to see your map.

Having re-reviewed the EIS, I became quite worried about staying concurrent. But I’m probably too anal to give up entirely.

19 March — updated the map. I’ve tried to name every intersection.

I haven’t looked at your version exhaustively, but I notice that you have the 75 meeting with the 95 in Ft. Lauderdale; if you look really closely, you’ll see that the 75 continues into Miami before it transitions into a local highway that runs into the 95 about a mile later. (We’ll consider that an intersection.)

Also, the 65 meets with the 80/94 and the 90 in Gary, not Chicago.

The 40 and the 75 intersect about 10 miles west of Knoxville; they overlap through Knoxville then go their separate ways.

And so on. There’s only so much detail you can accommodate in this rude map format.

And in situations like the 15/70 interchange where highways intersect outside of incorporated cities, it looks like you’re choosing to not label them at all. Maybe you can maintain your dedication to accuracy, but not lose any detail, by listing the closest city to those no-name interchanges, but distinguishing between “true” intersections and no-names somehow.

I’m slowly working on my own VERY complete version of the EIS with every last one- and two-digit interstate in the contiguous US. I’ll post it if it’s worth looking at.
