Points on a Map
✓ Published0🌍 Public
A world map displays over 50,000 cities as translucent teal dots, with country boundaries and graticules rendered in soft gray. The visualization uses React to manage component state and D3 v5's `geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `geoPath` to convert geographic coordinates into SVG paths. City locations are projected from latitude and longitude into screen positions, while the world atlas TopoJSON is processed with `feature` and `mesh` for land and interior borders. Data comes from a Simplemaps CSV containing city populations.
