    Today I learned that there's a river called "Canadian River" half a continent away from Canada I guess

    There's also the Columbia River, that starts in Canada and flows through the PNW US, but nowhere near Columbia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Nowhere near Colombia with a second O, but it's in British Columbia and also in Columbia as in the poetic name for the USA. It's actually what British Columbia is named after!

    Looks like it follows a river, so I'll give it a pass. The Michigan one is just dumb.

    It follows the middle of the river for part of it and the southern bank for the rest.

    Zoom out and look at the border between Western Australia and Restern Australia. Satisfying.

    Then zoom in on the intersection of Western Australia, South Australia and Northern Territory.

    There's a story to it, I can't decide if it's malicious compliance, feature-not-bug or "not my fucking job".

    Even Colorado does weird things when you look close enough.

    Along its north border with Nebraska there are lots of short curved roads connecting county roads from each state where the border seems to curve a bit too.

    But the bump is more to the right and pretty much only fits Toledo. Fuck Toledo.

    I looked at this on google maps and even better, when you zoom in on that top right corner of Indiana the east-west border there isn't even a straight line. It bends slightly when it reaches the road a few hundred yards to the west
