User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project
Sometime early in 2004, I made a dot-map (example) showing the location of my hometown: Apex, North Carolina. Then I decided, what the heck, since I've done that and have the graphics program open, why don't I make maps for every town in the county. That afternoon, I did about a third of the state and it didn't make any sense to stop there, so, like Forrest Gump, I just kept on running. Eerily enough, other people started running, too, and before long nearly all of the User:Rambot U.S. census location articles will have maps.

Remaining states with space-filling townships:
Because New England municipalities are "space-filling", dot-maps aren't exactly appropriate for these states
- I live in Pennsylvania, and townships can for the most part be treated as towns. A dot map would probably be sufficient in most cases. I personally live in Aston, PA, which is a township, but everyone uses the shortened form of the name. Even if a township and the town center proper happen to not be the same, it wouldn't be a problem with the scale that the dot maps are using. — Ram-Man (comment) (talk) 16:30, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
