#6: Dot Distribution Maps


This map is from the U.S. Census Bureau, it represents the population in the United States in 2000 using dot distribution. While you can't tell a specific amount of people you can understand the ratio of were people live most. Each dot represents 7500 people, so the brightest areas have the greatest population.
