Points on a Map
This example visualizes a world map with dots marking cities whose population exceeds 50,000. The city locations are plotted as semi-transparent teal circles over a natural Earth projection, with landmasses, graticules, and country interiors rendered in gray tones. The visualization is built with React and uses D3's `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` functions to project geographic data from the World Atlas TopoJSON. City coordinates come from the Simplemaps World Cities Database, accessed via a CSV file, and are projected onto the map using D3's projection method.
