Interesting how small settlements like Sherrill is considered a city while Cheektowaga near Buffalo is considered a town despite it having more than 20x more people.

How did you get/make a map like this?

I used an existing counties map of New York state from Wikimedia, cleaned up the mess that comes from file size reduction and then added the circles and the boundaries of the larger cities by overlaying more detailed maps in those areas on Inkscape.

missing west point, islip, babylon, monroe, kiryas joel, hancock, old forge, lake placid, ticonderoga, massena, potsdam, hempstead, huntington, like every other city on long island, and even more i dont have time or space to put here.

I looked up Islip and it doesn't have city status so I assume the rest of your "missing cities" are invalid as well.

Level 49

Feb 24, 2025

so im assuming only has cities but no towns, but in other quizzes with similar names, they also include villages, towns, and CDPs. its a bit confusing,

Can you make this for other states as well.

Thank you.

There are many others by different creators, however they usually include towns as well. I won’t create a quiz for a state where such a quiz already exists, and I think all the states might have already been covered by now.
