Dot Distribution

http://www.census.gov/geo/www/mapGallery/2kpopden.html

A dot distribution map uses dots to measure the occurrence of data in a given area. The more dots in the region, the higher the frequency of what is being measured. In this map, it is measuring the distribution of the population of the united states. Each dot represents 7500 people. As you can see, the more dots are located in areas of very dense population like in the northeast region.
