30. Dot Distribution Map


Source

Dot distribution maps are another type of planimetric map that are often used to denote densities. By looking at this map, you can tell that the NE coast has the highest density of whatever variable is being presented. In this case it is bird populations. However, density can sometimes be ignored because you don't know if they took area into account with this type of map. This is also an example of a statistical map.
