Скачать или смотреть The Shape of Colorado Is Hiding a 697 Sided Secret!

The shape of Colorado is hiding a 697-sided secret that most people never learn in school. Though it looks like a perfect rectangle on maps, Colorado's borders are anything but straight. When Congress defined the borders in 1876 using lines of latitude and longitude, it seemed simple—until the Earth's curvature got in the way. As surveyors tried to draw the state lines in 1879 using magnetic compasses and no GPS, they zigzagged across the terrain. The result? Instead of four straight lines, Colorado ended up with a shocking 697 sides! In this video, we explore how mapping mistakes, Earth's curvature, and outdated tools shaped one of the most fascinating state borders in the U.S. You’ll never look at Colorado—or any state—the same way again! If you love geography, American history, or mind-blowing map facts, this video is for you.
