Dot Distribution Maps

A dot distribution map is a map that uses dots to show data that it is trying to convey. In this map to the left, it is from the 2000 census from Fauquier Country, Virginia. Each dot in these types of maps relates to some data and in this map each dot represents 10 people. So if you count up all the dots and multiply by 10, you will have the population of Fauquier County!
