Alaska gets put in a little box, so does Hawaii.
And Guam is nowhere to be found.
Now picture New York City.
You're probably imagining the long, tall island of Manhattan.
Maybe you're seeing Brooklyn and Queens and part of the Bronx.
But you're almost certainly not seeing Staten Island on the local map of New York.
Unless it's been included in a tiny box in the bottom left corner, like on the old subway maps.
And even then, never at scale.
The logo map reflects the psychological reality for most New Yorkers when it comes to Staten Island.
It's that place miles out to sea, reachable only by ship in what was in its day the longest suspension bridge ever built.
It's off screen, by design.
Because the whole point of throwing things out is you don't want to see them anymore.
The dump became the metaphor for New York City's relationship to Staten Island, the place they put the things they don't want.
Secession was about making a whole new map.
After the break, the Supreme Court case that set all this in motion.
In the 1890s, New York City did not exist, at least not like it does today.
Brooklyn and Manhattan were separate cities.
Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx had little to do with each other.
Everyone competed for the same resources.
Nobody really coordinated how.
