Dot Distribution Map

 
Dot distribution maps are normally used to show population data in a certain area and also show where data characteristics occur. A Dot distribution map shows where objects are on a map by placing dots in there location to represent them; the concentration of dots reflects the number of occurrences in a particular region.
 
The above image is a dot distribution map used to study population in the U.S. where one dot is equivalent to 100,000 persons.
