Dot Distribution Maps

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

Dot distribution maps use dots to depict a phenomenon or feature that exists in the world. This map uses dots to depict the U.S. population as of the 2000 census. Dot density maps can be potentially misleading as the spacing and size of the dots is chosen by the cartographer and may therefore not be fully accurate with the actual phenomenon.
