Interesting how brightly Bakersfield and Fresno glow. I wonder if it's because the streets are so gridded and therefore not as prone to aliasing.

- maxerickson 12y agoEach pixel represents quite a lot of area so aliasing probably isn't coming into it. Bakersfield has a bunch of buildings (which lines up with the theory in my other post in this thread). It looks like imported land parcels make up a lot of the data in the Fresno blob: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/36.7805/-119.9009&layers=D http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/36.7805/-119.9009&layer... (Probably a good idea to turn off the data layer there before zooming out)

- dublinben 12y agoYou can also see the border of Massachusetts perfectly clearly, likely due to the import of MassGIS data. Surrounding states are all much lower density, until you hit Manhattan.
