Analog DRM on maps

Analog Rights Management, revisited:

Monmonier mentions two prank towns appearing in an official map of Michigan, the edge of which showed portions of the neighboring state of Ohio. Some diehard Wolverine fan in the mapmaking department decided that would be a good place to put the nonexistent towns of “goblu” (Go Blue, get it?) and “beatosu,” referring to the University of Michigan’s traditional rival Ohio State.
