This resource provides an in-depth look at how physical geographical factors influence the population distribution in the USA. By utilizing various maps, including population density and physical geography, we can visualize the correlations between geography and demographics. Notable resources include the U.S. Census population maps and the National Atlas for detailed demographic information. The maps illustrate the population density across the lower 48 states, highlighting areas of high and low population, crucial for understanding societal trends and planning.
