Border Crossings (2010)

These maps represent three areas of the United States predicted by Herman Kahn and Anthony Wiener in 1967 to become megalopolises by the year 2000. These areas — Boswash, Chipitts and Sansan — are coastal regions whose boundaries are revealed here by the borders (and border-crossings) of US hertzian space.
