Points on a Map
A natural Earth projection world map displays cities with populations over 50,000 as semi-transparent teal dots, layered over light gray landmasses and graticules. The visualization uses React with D3 v5, employing `geoNaturalEarth1` and `geoPath` for the projection, while city coordinates are converted through the projection function to position SVG circles. City data originates from Simplemaps' World Cities Database, with country boundaries from the World Atlas TopoJSON, and the map includes subtle interior country borders for geographic context.
