Manifest Destiny Mapping


In full general I'm non a huge fan of cartograms. The distortion of an surface area on a map past times the size of the information unremarkably but ends upwardly confusing my uncomplicated brain. However I produce similar this animated cartogram showing US Population Trends Over The Last 220 Years.

This map shows the size the population inwards every U.S. nation for every decade since 1790. As the animated cartogram plays yous tin post away clearly encounter the full general migration westward over the centuries inwards the United States.


Another swell visualization of the westward migration inwards the U.S. is this map from the US Census Bureau. This animated map shows where the hateful pump of the population has been for each U.S. census from 1790 to 2010.

The Mean Center of Population for the U.S. 1790 to 2010 shows how the hateful pump of population inwards the US has shifted westward inwards the concluding 220 years from Kent County, Maryland to Texas County, Missouri.
