This is just an interesting dot distribution map I found showing the principle cotton producing areas in Florida, 1850. I like the simplicity of the map and noticed a familiar pattern of the areas dominated by plantations today. This website has some great maps of Florida.
This map of British Columbia is a dot distribution of the population figures from their 2001 census. I think a little more detail might be helpful to determine the actual location of the more heavily populated regions. The zoomed in areas of Victoria and Vancouver offer a better view but the large map could at least have some cities or something for reference. On this map each dot represents 25 people and they are randomly distributed.
