About SVGZ Graphic: NY Counties Redrawn to Reflect Proximity to County Seat ....

I decided to "redraw" New York State Counties, so that each town is in the county closest to the county seat.

So for example, the Towns of Berne and Rensselaerville are closer to Schoharie County offices, so it would make more sense for them to be in Schoharie County then Albany.

It's kind of interesting. A lot of counties were preserved, but also some werid things happened like Niagara Falls was put in Erie County, Oneonta was put in Delaware County. Madison County got part of Tug Hill Plateau.

Essentially this is a Voronoi diagram of County Office Buildings, with towns joined against the Voronoi diagram.

More about New York State...

New York is a state in the Northeastern region of the United States. New York is the 27th-most extensive, the 3rd-most populous, and the 7th-most densely populated of the 50 United States. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south, and by Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border with Rhode Island east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Ontario to the west and north, and Quebec to the north. The state of New York is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City.
