This is one of the more bizarre maps that we’ve uncovered. It certainly demonstrates how different the times were with such a high incidence of death due to diarrhea in the 19th century. Sanitation wasn’t exactly high caliber as you can read in a few of our posts about Swampoodle and Murder Bay.

Check out the map below and see for yourself.
