I think that's a very accurate map of the various regions in the South.

I agree with JMT, Miss Missy! Good map! Might label certain areas different, might expand/contract a bit...but all in all, there is not a lot to argue with as in the sense of truly rearranging it!

Thanks hon!

Thank YOU for providing the link to the map! It's true that the regions in the South (and elsewhere) don't necessarily follow state lines. I know, culturally, we here in East Tennessee have a lot more in common with Eastern Kentucky than we do with our own state capital Nashville.

I'm sure it used to just as southern as georgia but all the northern transplants have come down there and made it feel another northern state. I went to college down in florida for a yr and I was made fun of (all in fun) when I said "yall" and just the way my accent sounds. It just doesnt feel southern to me because no accent, no southern hospitality, not really any southern culture or traits of any kind. Northern florida might be different because ive never stayed there just driven through. Maybe thats just me though.
Florida: The only state in the US that gets more "Southern" the further North you go

Furthermore, it doesn't even go into northern Alabama, where the Appalachian highlands end.

Furthermore, if you read the description for deep south, it says "flat", when much of that so-called "flat area", particularly in Georgia and Alabama, is very hilly.
