TBOSAS gave an intense look at the map of panem pre-president snow era, so I pieced it together to make a more official map than anything i've seen thus far. plus, i'm insane about fictional maps for literally no reason. [keep in mind, this is shitty screenshots that i've put together and the screen the map appears on (during lucky's weather report) appears to be rounded, so some of the proportions and such might be off. ] more stuff under the cut
so, these are the images i used to make this:
and i pieced them together as best i could, some of the borders, like the bottom right of 12 and the bottom of 5 became sort of a guessing game because they were covered up/hard to see.
doing that and cropping/pasting them together gave me this image (same as at the top of post)
red lines are clear country borders, yellow are district borders, purple is any of the areas i was unsure about. As we can see from this, districts 7, 10, and 13 (not labelled on this map because at this point in canon-time, it's 'gone') have no definite ending borders, so it's hard to even guess where they would end at. using this i made this more polished map using each district's colours that are listed on fandom dot com
the unclear edges are left blurred because really i don't know where they end...
we know that panem is formerly north america, so i laid the image over a map of north america and got this:
it took a little adjusting because again, my map is based off of a warped television screen, but, we end up with something like this. some interesting things to note is that a lot of coast has presumably eroded away as time passed -- we lost all of baja, and most of florida and socal, and some of virginia and north carolina, and many pieces of the mexican states, though none in their entirety . the places where panem extends over NA water spaces (districts 6, 7, 13) are either from receding water levels or translation issues from the warping of the in-movie screen... or, my own personal error, i guess lol.
again, as far as 7, 10, and 13, their end borders are up to speculation, but i'd imagine 7 extends up to near the edge of the northern canadian borders and maybe into alaska -- though i can't say because that's a huge chunk of space (it is the lumber district, though, so it probably goes as high as the trees are...). same goes for 10: i'd guess it goes south a bit more to near the nartual borders, but likely in any low-elevation areas (near the southern provinces) the sea has swallowed up the land. as for 13, it likely extends more near norther quebec and out toward the maritime provinces (though i'd estimate that most of those are either completely underwater or complete above it, so there's no islands going on). truly though, it's anyone's guess, so let me know your thoughts on it if you made it this far down!
future-panem, like during the events of the hunger games, definitely has changed district borders. we knows there's fencing and forbidden area, so the districts are definitely far smaller and there's space between them (no man's land) so that there is little-to-no communication between districts.
anyway, thanks for checking this out, i spent too much time on this to come out with very little practical use, but if you're like me and you like knowing where fictional locations are/how they're laid out, this is for you

Starting to notice some weirdly specific trends in some of my favorite alien films:
Isolated woman fights for her life against body snatching aliens, but also the aliens are the only ones to truly understand and accept her (in the most horrifying way possible): No One Will Save You and Significant Other
Kids from marginalized communities have to fight invading aliens trying to steal their home and land: Slash/Back and Attack the Block
The aliens are here and, frankly, they’d rather not be: Paul and District 9
*teenage girl voice* hunting for aliens is my coping method, okay: Prey and UFO Sweden

would love to see you do some district 9 victors!!!! I imagine a bunch of wheat colored people good at blending in and using scythes!
Oh hi, this has been here for a while jksadjksfdj
You can have my headcanons for the D9 Victors we see for the third Quarter Quell with their apperance, names and year they won in my headcanons. Need to flesh them out more in my mind, but you can have this in the mean while.
The name for the female Victor is the one the Actress who played her gave her, and I quite liked that name so that’s also my headcanon name for her as well.

Just out of interest if you were to assign every district a probability of having their tribute be victor what would it be?
I'm leaning towards-
District 1 (Luxury Goods): 25%
District 2 (Masonry and Defence): 30%
District 3 (General Electronics): 3%
District 4 (Fishing): 10%
District 5 (Power/Electricity): 4%
District 6 (Transportation): 4%
District 7 (Lumber): 5%
District 8 (Textiles): 3%
District 9 (Grain): 3%
District 10 (Livestock): 5%
District 11 (Agriculture): 5%
District 12 (Mining): 3%
I reckon in earlier games we'd see more of a lean towards Districts with either physical strength or proclivities towards weapons, namely Districts 2, 4, 7, 10 and 11, but once the Career Academies get set in place and Districts 1 and 2 become the powerful tributes they are in the original trilogy this would be the overall outcome.
