I just found out through [1]https://x.com/RedistrictNet/status/1863742503242875046 That the US Department of Transportation has just rolled out an official map of US timezones. It's supposed to be at: [2]https://geodata.bts.gov/datasets/usdot::time-zones/about (It doesn't load for me at the moment, possibly due to high demand.) Roozbeh
Would anyone be able to explain what's going on at https://geodata.bts.gov/datasets/usdot::time-zones/explore?location=47.03463...
that weird bit of line is, on the left hand side, a straight line between the michican/wisconsin land border (south) and michigan wisconsin state border on the canadian border (north) - following the outline of the state the right hand side of the line goes back north into the lake up to the county boundary of Gogebic county, Michican (which is in central timezone unlike most of michigan) and then follows the in-lake county outline eastwards - following the outline of the county. See the map here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gogebic_County,_Michigan#/media/File:Gogebic_C... so maybe its bad composition of state and county outlines in some way --
