You kinda glossed over it. but Mt McKinley was named such LONG before it was a US state. long before it even became a US territory even. A large part of naming things in Alaska after political figures was to try to get attention to making alaska a state because it would greatly benefit those seeking natural resources like gold, coal, oil etc. And. it worked haha. The same thing happened in Hawaii though not as pronounced.

Another toponym story which is interesting are German place names around Europe, but most notably to the east of central Germany which most Americans will only have heard of as -East Germany- nowadays. That story doesn't have a happy ending tho, as slavic nationalism still runs rampant.

Human geography is a great field! There is so much to study with it! I did a masters in urban geography and my thesis was on iconic architecture and the power dynamics influencing the way cities in neo-liberal economies are produced

This is great. But, and I confess for a moment I thought somewhere she would jokingly say -WAIT! WAIT! WE KNOW BUT DON'T CLICK AWAY! WE'VE LEARNED OUR LESSON LAST TIME! -
