Dot distribution maps

This dot distribution map, used by the U.S. Census Bureau, presents the population distribution of the United States in 2000. Each dot represents 7,500 citizens.  The website brought an interesting fact - in this map, the states of Alaska and Hawaii are in more relative positions (population-wise) to the conterminous United States than in earlier map series.
