An isthmus is a narrow region of land. When an isthmus connects two larger landmasses, it can be viewed as a natural path for land transportation or an obstruction for maritime transportation. Many isthmuses (or, if you prefer, isthmi.) are now cut by canals (Suez in the Sinai, Panama, Corinth) or have been considered for cutting (Kra, Tehuantepec...). Some of the USA's largest cities sit upon isthmi: Seattle and Madison, WI.

So, Isthmuses

Good: connect places, regions of commerce.

Bad: Separate oceans/seas, transportation bottlenecks, Hipsters.
