[@TWDExplained]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeyphillips1181]

Yeah even just going across Georgia or Virginia is a long trip so when they went from Georgia to Virginia it was a really long trip & when he went to the CRM it was an even longer trip lol I live in Alabama and just going from the west to the east side of the state is a pretty long trip

[@justinyelverton]

@@Penguinrule12the filming never left Georgia. The sanctuary is on the backside of the old prison, and Alexandria is right down the street from woodbury.

[@unclebasil3489]

Honestly that's one of the reasons the story after like season 5/6 took a big hit for me. It's kinda silly to imagine these people traveling almost 100 miles on a semi-regular basis. Especially when you get scenes in which characters just get out of the car when they were passengers and just saying they're gonna walk on their own.

[@Chippaization]

I mean Culpeper to orange is like a 20 minute drive(like 30 miles), Culpeper to Fredericksburg is ~30 minutes(35miles) so the area under sanctuary's rule isn't too far being a stone or two throws away to Alexandria is ~80 miles maybe more depending on what roads you take and with best traffic maybe an 1 hour and a half. Walking would take days, but you could definitely sanctuary's area in a single day with no zombie run-ins from one community to the other.

It's awesome to get a visual idea of where all the communities we're at. Rick's story being told while mapping it out was awesome!!

[@TWDExplained]

Thanks! I spent hours trying to make it like it probably should be but then a few episodes later something throws it all off. Kingdom and Sanctuary should be closer to DC but it just didn't make sense as we go into All Out War and especially after Rick leaves - the snow episode throws everything for a loop.

[@basedbear1605]

@@INeatFreak It's a 10 hour drive... with functional highways and gas stations. Did you not watch the show at all? No gas except what hasn't evaporated and can be scavenged, and the highways are often clogged with cars and/or walkers. It is ludicrous to think they could make that trip, let alone the ridiculous trips that Morgan made later on. But yes, Daryl going to France was retarded.

[@stephh4495]

This map really puts into perspective how far traveling actually was, and why so much gas was needed for every trip (and therefore, why wagons and horseback became the norm just a few years in). It also puts into scale just how large and powerful the Saviors were to be able to block off Rick and the group's many possible routes from Alexandria to Hilltop. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is how on earth the Saviors came across Oceanside before ever even hearing about Alexandria.

[@TWDExplained]

OS was at a closer community when Simon killed the men - then the rest fled to OS to hide from the Saviors. The original community was much closer to the Sanctuary - it's where Cyndi killed Arat in Season 9.

[@yuxomgaming9824]

Boy I’m dumb. I thought the watermark in the top right corner was a lake on the map and I was thinking “is that a natural lake that just happens to be shaped like a zombie or did the Georgia government build a zombie shaped lake in honor of TWD?

[@TWDExplained]

haha that would be awesome though

[@rissabiagi1570]

[@ArmandDark09]

The series made the distance feel the opposite of how it was. Seasons 1-4A felt like they traveled a lot when the hospital, the camp, Woodbury, the prision, Hershel's farm, Rick's house, the CDC and the place where they wanted to drop Randall were all "around the corner", being the Prision the farthest place so far. Going to Terminus was the first long trip they made and after it, Atlanta and Alexandria, but those trips really feel the way and distance they were. When they find Hilltop, The Kingdom, The Sanctuary and Oceanside, the series made it feel like they were around the corner when in fact, they were pretty far away, at some point it felt like the characters just randomly spawn in one of those places. It feels weird watching it on a map and figuring out how it really was. So, the longest trips they made were: From Atlanta to Richmond in season 5A From near Macon (the prison) to Atlanta in season 4B From Richmond to Alexandria in season 5B All trips from Alexandria to any other place (Season 6B to the end of the series)

[@jasiekthejester7764]

In fact, I'm working on a TWD RPG campaign and this visualisation isba tremendous help in organising things in my head 😊

Fun fact: based on known statistics we know about the virus and survival rates, all of the zombies would have disappeared worldwide within about 6 months. With the low population areas where most of the show takes place probably within 6 weeks.

[@jayess8714]

Yeah, in the comics in the final issue (which is a flash forward about decade or so) it's shown that the zombies had died out, and had become a rarity to find. I much prefer this ending rather than the show, but obvs they had to keep the zombies around for all the spin offs

[@kimberlyweaver1285]

I enjoyed this very much! It’s funny to live where they actually filmed and see the map. Of course things are much closer than it appears. The studios they built all over GA are very empty right now. I hope things pick back up. I would hate to see my city fail because it got too big for its britches. 🙂

[@TWDExplained]

The Georgia film tax credit is a big draw to the state for productions - now the strikes are over maybe things will get back going again.

[@gapete361]

It can't be too empty. I just saw downtown Conyers in that new movie Civil War. In that same movie I also saw that stretch of Ga-20 down in McDonough, you know the place. It was where they lost Sophia in TWD and where Columbus and Tallahassee meet in the movie Zombieland. I thought it was kind of funny how that stretch of road is always a traffic jam in some end of the world scenario.

[@-God_Usopp]

See, this helped, cause there’s smthn that always bothered me: Rick was at his home town, then went to Atlanta, then went to the camp, then they had to run and they went along some HUGE highway and ended up at that horde, then they went EVEN FARTHER and ended up at the farm, then they ran form that and kept running for nearly a year, throughout the whole winter, and they finally found the prison. Makes sense so far, but then, when looking for weapons, Rick/Michonne/Carl are suddenly back at Rick and carls home town? How far did they travel during the near year time skip? Not long apparently.

[@jn166]

They probably did alot of hunkering down in random houses/neighborhoods while looting them

[@zhuzhi-lang]

i also have something that bothers me with this map!! around the end of season 7 (i think), carl sees siddiq for the first time.. at the same gas station that rick was at in the very first episode.. we KNOW its the same gas station because we get to see the same little girl walker. (and also the scenes where carl is moving in the exact same way as rick did in that episode, but..)

[@TomSivier94]

So I’ve only watched this for 4:35 and I see where the problem was, Rick and the group just wouldn’t get away from the city 😂

[@ArmandDark09]

Little fun fact: Lee Everett (from the videogame) was being transported to the Meriwether County Correctional Facility for his crimes before the breakout, that's the same prision Rick and his group took in the comics. Meanwhile, the prision from the show is called West Georgia Correctional Facility located, according to this video, near Macon Georgia, the place where Lee Everett comes from.

I do realize these places are all fictional and we're never given exact locations, but your map is still kind of off. If you look at the map they had on the show, Terminus was not in Macon. It looked as if the cannibals were set up in Roberta, which is west of Macon. Also, the few clues we're given about King County, it is North of Atlanta and not west. For one thing, Rick said he was coming into town on Highway 85. That's not Interstate 85. Atlanta has a lot of roads coming into it. There is both a Highway and Interstate 85, and even more confusing, the same is true for 20 as well.

I like how both of the states, Georgia and Virginia, represent the two halves to the zombie apocalypse genre as a whole. Georgia is the more hopeless half; everything and everyone is gone, there's absolutely nowhere safe, and the largest nearby city, Atlanta, is completely overrun. Virginia on the other hand is the more "civilised" half; there are multiple safe zones and communities that form large trade networks where survivors can eek out a (mostly) peaceful existence, and the largest nearby city, D.C. is mostly devoid of zombies.

[@aaronwoodard903]

Funny part is..the quarry is close to my home in NW Atlanta. It's a park part of the beltline now

[@Utonian21]

It's interesting how they probably only filmed and based the series in Georgia for tax reasons, but as a result, the state pretty much became of the official home of the franchise (the first season of the TellTale game also took place entirely in Georgia, too.) It felt weird when they migrated north to Virginia 😭

Nice work. Not only do I live in Alexandria, I've lived near Warrenton and Culpeper, and it looks like Oceanside should actually be called Bayside since it's next to Chesapeake Beach. Of course, NONE of these places in the show look ANYTHING like Northern Virginia, and when I was watching the show I never really thought about have far it was from Alexandria to Hilltop, for instance. But it's a fun exercise.

[@kawafahra]

simplest solution to settle in an area with few walkers and having at least some lights on in the evening : settle in a valley already providing a village with a natural water source, surrounded by steep hills, which itself is located in highlands. climbing steep hills takes determination, precise movement and keeping eyes on target for up to hours at a time. Walkers won´t do any of that without something to hunt, the low population would reduce that possibility down to no worries, and anyone nearby would not be attracted anyway cause lights are hard to see over hills if kept rather low. It could not keep off marauders completely though, but it would provide natural fortification to a whole small community, which could defend itself by sheer numbers and knowledge of the area. That´s where i would head to, early in an apocalypse. Up the hills to somewhere nobody ever cared about, as long as it has a roof and water, far away from the next real town.

Thank you and yes, you are correct! Gabe's church should be Northeast of Atl. The 2nd part showing Sanctuary and Kingdom - they should be closer to DC but I couldn't get it to work out based on some clues from the show. I do want to get it more correct if I can - but you are also correct the way they wrote the show is bonkers when it comes to trying to make a map.

You know living in the DC area the show never really feels like they're saying they're at. I get they probably filmed it all in Georgia soundstages but man they should do something to establish the locations. The George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Oldtown Alexandria, Regan National Airport, The Wilson Bridge, some establishing shot that pans the Pentagon and all the touristy memorials stuff in DC, anything.

This is awesome! Really puts into perspective just how tiring their journeys were. The only thing that could make it better is a timeline/dates included, but I don’t think there’s a particularly accurate one out there

I will work on a timeline addition to this - I have a new map in the works, better map path color in Georgia, tweaked voice over and corrected a couple of things, plus it will have The Ones Who Live
