Dot Distribution Map


A dot distribution map uses dots to represent a certain variable and spreads them across the map to represent where each of these variables are located. Although simple, this map type is has been used for thousands of years and it still just as effective today. The example shown here is a map of Walmart locations though out the United States. As we can see, the eastern part of our country is loaded with Walmarts.
