I'm all for world maps *not* trying to prove the four-color theorem, but this map must have 15 or more different colors for nations...
« retired bridges and roads inspector », is this ironic?
I know that I'm answering an old post (though not necromancing the thread), but you are writing here about none other than Charles Minard, the man who made the “best graphics ever” — he is very well-known for the 1812 retreat from Russia map/graphic. The map posted in the thread is a modern fac-simile from a 1858 map of global migrations which, though a bit less ugly, shows the same deformation of continent shapes. However, given the considerable talent usually shown by Minard throughout his excellent work, we can safely assume that these deformations were introduced on purpose, to leave some room for the main point of the map, which is the alluvial diagram of migration. (This certainly explains at least the displacement of the British isles).

I never knew the Mississippi River had 90 degree corners.

What can you expect when one is essentially reduced to a hexagon and the other a rectangle?
