A satirical interactive map that renames American waters, parks, and landmarks according to an imaginary nationalist naming board.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The project uses a Leaflet map and Natural Earth geographic data to stage an imaginary government naming regime. Its controls divide the map into waters, parks, and landmarks, while each label can reportedly open a renaming decree and a separate toggle restores the former names. The page credits Mark Sample and marks coordinates as approximate, keeping the operational details visible beneath the mock-official language.
