  Pretty and quaint but completely misleading.

  However if you believe in the Bible rather than scientific evidence, or you still live in Tennessee as it was in the 1920s these maps will supply plenty of ammunition for your confirmation bias.

  Interesting too how whilst they are so out of date, they still conform extremely well to the vision of ostrich heads like JWs.
