Lutheranism by county-(U.S.A.)

For all you readers out there, you might find this interesting. This is a map of the U.S. that goes county by county telling where the Lutherans are. As you can tell, for some mad reason, we all settled in the barren, frozen tundra up here in Minnesota and the Dakotas.

You will note however that this map does not distinguish between the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LC-MS), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) or the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations in this country. This map does not include any smaller church bodies that do exist in this country. Though, it is interesting because regardless of the Lutheran group, the big four are primarily centered in the upper midwest.
