Real-World timezones didn't come about till the 19th century. Before the railroads organized it, each locality used their own time.Perhaps instead of demarked timezones, make a scale showing the distance of one hour difference -- sort of like a scale that shows how far 100 miles is on the map.Something about timezones that has always flipped my brain: When you move from the middle of one timezone to the middle of the next, your watch is one hour wrong. Even if it takes you 10 years to travel the distance, your watch will still be one hour off. Even though it takes so long you can't tell the difference in the sun's travel during your journey, your watch will still say the wrong time.Quasqueton</blockquote>
