Dot Distribution Map


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_distribution_map


The below map is a dot distribution map made by John Snow of London. Each dot represents the residence of someone who had contracted cholera in 1854. This map shows the connection between proximity and the spreading of the disease, and because of that, illustrates the usefulness of dot density maps to displaying a correlation between location and another measurement of interest.
