Time Zoned Trivia

Time Zoned Trivia takes a look at the United States from a somewhat different point of view by displaying "top ten" lists for each of the four main time zones. This tends to bring out features such as lakes and mountains possibly not heard of before. It also demonstrates the changes seen while moving from coast to coast.

This app has a main page which shows trivia and a map for each of the four main time zones, and a page with detailed maps for the zones as well.

The information used by this app comes from the NYU Spatial Repository, The National Map Small-Scale Repository, U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line files and was processed with Quantum GIS (QGIS).
