This image is a historical map of the United States from January 1, 1912, titled the "Wet and Dry" map. It categorizes counties in the U.S. based on alcohol prohibition laws at the time.

  • Black areas represent "dry" regions where alcohol was prohibited by law.
  • White areas represent "wet" regions where alcohol sales and consumption were allowed.

The map shows significant portions of the country, particularly in the South and Midwest, as "dry," while many areas in the western states and parts of the Northeast remain "wet." It reflects the rising influence of the temperance movement and the push toward nationwide alcohol prohibition, which culminated in the 18th Amendment in 1920.

This image is a historical map titled "Wet and Dry Map of the United States, January 1, 1912." It depicts the status of prohibition laws across different regions of the United States as of that date.

The map uses two colors to indicate areas where the sale of alcohol was permitted ("wet") and areas where it was prohibited or restricted ("dry"). Black areas represent "dry" regions where alcohol sales were likely restricted, while white areas represent "wet" regions where alcohol sales were allowed. There are clear variations across states, with some states being entirely dry, some entirely wet, and others a mix of both in different regions or counties.

The western half of the country has more large black areas indicating dry regions, whereas the eastern part has a more intricate mix of wet and dry areas. This map illustrates the spread of the temperance movement in the early 20th century America, prior to the nationwide Prohibition era which began in 1920.
