Dot Distribution of Wheat Harvest 2002

Dot distribution maps provide a way to demonstrate information simply. Each dot represents a set scale; in this case 1 dot=1,000 acres of wheat harvested. This is a dot density point pattern map using nonproportional dots. Quadrat or Nearest Neighbor Analysis can be used to evaluate point patterns for random, uniform or clustered patterns.
