You're on the map: Check out the US as you've never seen it before

If you were nice enough to participate in the 2010 census, you’re on this map, represented as one of the 308,450,225 small dots on these United States. Brian Martin-Anderson made this rather thoughtful representation of the U.S. population, and it paints a vivid picture of the stillness of the rural Southwest and the dense communities in the great cities. Martin-Anderson carefully removed state lines and highways to give a bigger picture of “human settlement patterns unmediated by proxies.” Go find your dot, but keep in mind: As it is from information gathered in 2010, some newer Americans aren’t on the map yet — experts say US population will top 315 million by the first day of 2013.
