Zip!

Cool map of the USA, wherein all the zip codes are connected via lines to the next consecutive number. So, 48334 is connected to both 48333 and 48335.

 

As you can see, the Zip code system was a very well designed way to break the country up into diminishing chunks and in fact it behaves mathematically as a fractal system with dimension 1.78.
