Unlike you, the author of the AtlasObscura piece seems to have a blind spot to the other country in which almost all of the Great Lakes exist. What an appalling oversight.

As a French guy, I have always associated the Great Lakes with Canada.

I had to look it up to realize that most of it is within US borders.

Not really. 4 of the lakes are on the US-Canadian border. Lake Michigan is completely within the US though.

Only Lake Michigan is within US borders, while the others are almost evenly split between Canada and the U.S.A., thus my irritation with the AtlasObscura piece.
