Your Body Is a Wondermap
The cartographic utility of human appendages and the places they resemble.
Envy the Michigan Hand Map. Michiganders have been blessed with a state shaped almost exactly like a hand – well, at least, most of the state (Say sorry to da U.P., eh?).
I'm from California, but I just spent three months living in Michigan and was pleased to find that Michiganders really do regularly reference their state's geography or the location of certain cities by using their own built-in Michigan hand map. It's a surprisingly useful tool, especially when explaining to a Californian how to find places like Sleeping Bear Dunes (pinky nail) or Bay City (that wrinkled fleshy part between the thumb and forefinger). In a pinch, you could get rough driving directions.
