you can tell negan was obsessed with rick, why else would he willingly drive all that distance to alexandria every 5 minutes

I didn't realize how close they were to big cities all the time. No wonder there was always a crisis.

I lived in every part of the Atlanta map. I even would wave to the Zombies when they filmed outside my art studio downtown Atlanta. Those were the good days.

Honestly, thank you for this. I’m not aAmerican and a lot of the geography just goes over my head. Like when Rick said “that’s a long trip”, I assumed he meant for apocalypse times but damn, that really is a long trip! So helpful, thank you!

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!!

I honestly had no idea all the virginia communities were so far apart. I thought those people were a stone throw's away from eachother

With their limited access to working vehicles, amazing they traveled as far as they did. Did take years to get out of Georgia.

You should do Morgan next, it’d be funny to see you stretching across the map of the US😂😂😂

It’s a little funny Woodbury was built and shot in senoia, GA. All buildings are still there and you can take a walking dead tour. It looks untouched.

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.

and lastly he went to the CRM base in philadelphia…the whole journey was so beautifully explained man! hats off!

The way people teleport so instantly, I would never have guessed they were so far apart.

It's cool to know they were all in Macon at one point where Lee is from, pretty cool

Fun fact. The scenes at the CDC was film next to my office..It was crazy to tanks on my way to work

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.

5:01 Noah’s neighborhood was called Shirewilt, Wiltshire made a brief appearance in Season 2 when Andrea and Shane were out looking for Sophia.

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 😂

untill they came to Virginia looked like theyve been moving in circle and got back in Atlanta in that hospitall xD

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)
