Abstract or Description

This map shows the population in the townships of Maine from the 2010 Census. The populations are shown by dot density in each of the townships, dots representing every 250 people are placed randomly in their respective townships. Population change from the 1950 Census to the 2010 Census is represented by the color scale of the townships themselves. Townships with no population in 1950 that grew are represented by the highest growth on the scale.
