Dot distribution maps are used to show a certain type of distribution. The most common use for these types of maps are to show population density. Dots are used to show the different parameters that are being measured. In the map above, one dot represents 7,500 people. This makes it easy to pick out the highly populated areas over the non-populated ones.
