Scars / Map (geology to inequality)
the Cretaceous coastline that still shapes the modern South · three new minimalist takes below
The Drowned Coast
Every county a glowing mote by percent Black; the Black Belt crescent emerges as the fossil shoreline.
New take →scars/concept-1-drowned-coastThe Same Wound

New take →scars/concept-2-the-same-woundThe Deep Map
The academic version: a traditional county choropleth with toggleable layers (race, poverty, income, vote 2016 to 2024), teaching regions, and an honest caveat.
