The Hamptons Map

Look down below for a useful Hamptons map.

A lot of people hear the name "The Hamptons" and wonder exactly what the name is referring to in its plural form. Is it a range of mountains? A series of lakes? A group of towns? In actuality it refers to a collection of hamlets and villages situated in the eastern part of Long Island, New York. All of these villages and hamlets technically lie within the incorporated towns of Southampton and East Hampton. Some ares in the Hamptons are among the most expensive real estate in the country, and countless rich, famous, and influential people talk about having a "House in the Hamptons", which has come to be regarded as quite a status symbol.

Some of the popular spots in the Hamptons include Southampton Village, Water Mill, Sagaponack, Sag Harbor, and Bridgehampton. Aside from culturally important areas, East Hampton also features eight state parks as well as historic spots of interest.

Key West Map

Check out the Key West map images down below.

Key West is a city and an island in the Florida Keys. It is the southernmost city within the continental United States, and is known for its beautiful scenery, beaches, and year-round tropical weather.

There are basically only two seasons in Key West: a wet season and a dry season. November to April is the more sunny and drier season, whereas May to October is the wet season (or wetter season, would be a better description). In mainland Florida, in the wet season showers typically occur in the afternoon. But in Key West, they tend to occur in the early morning. This is great for vacationers who can sleep in during the showers and then enjoy the rest of their day uninterrupted. Of course, showers sometimes occur during other times of day. But in any case, Key West is drier than any other city in Florida.

Louisville Map

A Louisville map for your reference can be found down below the destination overview.

Louisville, Kentucky is another one of those cities whose population suddenly went through the roof in a single day - that`s because of a merger that made the entire county a part of Louisville city. The city is found in the southeastern part of the state, adjacent to the borders of Kentucky and Indiana (which are marked by the Ohio River).

Kentucky is not exactly located in the deep south, but its culture is generally thought of as southern and the deep south has definitely had an influence on Kentucky. Louisville is often nicknamed "the northernmost Southern city" in the US.

The city`s population is 741,096 (in its consolidated borders). In the old borders it would be 597,337. The population is about 75% white, 23% black, 0.6% native American, 2% Asian, 2.9% Hispanic (though Hispanic is technically not a racial category).

Vancouver, Washingtown lies just across the state border. After Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, Portland is the third largest city in the Pacific Northwest Region.

Portland is often referred to as one of the most "green" (ie. environmentally conscious) cities in the world. This is because of its excellent public transportation, and efficient urban planning, zoning, and land use.

Like most of the Pacific Northwest, Portland sees mildly warm, dry summers that are fairly short, and mildly cold, wet winters that are long. The fall and spring are distinct, but seem like transitional periods into and out of winter. Those seasons can be just as cool and wet as the winter season.

Minneapolis is nicknamed the "City of Lakes" because the city contains over 20 lakes and wetlands, as well as the Mississippi river, streams, waterfalls, and parks through which the water flows. The city`s name is a combination of the Dakota word for water, "mni", and the Greek word for city, "polis". The water city is aplty named.

The city is hot and humid in summer and cold and dry in winter. It experiences rain, snow, hail, sleet, and all kinds of precipitation.
