NFL Empires: 1942
This is a continuation of my "empire" maps (where victors take the territory of the losers) of the NFL. Different than most such imperialism sports maps, instead of gaining all the loser's land from a victory home or away, the victor only gets territory for an away victory, and just two-thirds of it (or one-third for an away tie).
There were no changes to the teams between seasons, so the 1942 map starts where 1941 left off.
My data was from Pro Football Reference and most of the logos from SportsLogos.net.
Here then is the map of the NFL empires after the 1942 season:
The Chicago Bears (light blue) went undefeated in the regular season, which meant a lot of land gained and held. Washington (gold) won the Eastern Division and beat Chicago in the championship game. The game was in Washington, though, so no land changed hands. Green Bay (green) was second in the West, which was enough to maintain a large empire.
Here is the map before the season started:
The West dominates.
