maps?
Here's a project for someone with better search-fu and more free time than me:
My world atlas at home has a population density map - i think you would call it population density by area - it has colored blobs of different colors for different densities with dark red being very dense and light yellow being very sparse, etc, and gradients in between.
The problem is the map was of the whole world, and was pretty small. I'm looking for a closer-up view because, in addition to the red blotches on the (US) eastern seaboard and L.A. area, there was a large deep red splotch I was curious about west of the mississippi and south of (what I think is) the Missouri. But due to the strangeness of the projection and the lack of detail it's hard to tell where exactly it is beyond that. it didn't look like it was centered on any of the major cities in that region (too far NE to be dallas/ft worth, too far away from the river to be KC or St. Louis).
If someone can find me a similar map with a larger scale of that region, or an explanation of that abberant high population cluster in the south-central united states, i'd be curious to see it.
I'm not talking about a map where every state or every country is a different shade depending on pop. density.
I'm also not talking about a map where there are dots for every X thousand people or whatever.
I'm talking about a map that looks like a weather map only the color blobs represent pop. density rather than rainfall or temperature or whatever.
