world ma Points on a Map
This visualization displays a world map with points marking cities whose population exceeds 50,000, sourced from the Simplemaps World Cities Database. It uses a Natural Earth projection via d3.geoNaturalEarth1 and d3.geoPath to render land, graticules, interiors, and a sphere outline from World Atlas TopoJSON data. City points are projected and drawn as semi-transparent circles. The React-based implementation, using d3.v5 and SVG rendering, creates a clean, minimal aesthetic with light gray landmasses and teal city markers.
