DING DING DING!!! We have a winner. Kudos!

That represents McDonald's locations as of 2010 (in a sense it certainly reflects population density...maybe in both senses of the term? ).

To put it into perspective, very, very few people in the lower 48 are more than 100 miles from a McDonald's.

The coordinates N 45.45955 W 101.91356 identify a spot in South Dakota that has the peculiar distinction of being the McFarthest point in the lower 48 states. The nearest McDonald’s is 107 miles away, as the crow flies, or 145 miles away, traveling by car.

Might not be their intent, but it sure looks like a good representation of population density to me.

Amazing coincidence between Mcd's and Blue vs Red states. Probably related to IQ. Dumb people don't go to McD's before watching FoxNews.

My guess WAS going to be that it was a representation of how unbalanced we are as a country, but MickeyDs' will do...

Now that it has been pointed out, it makes sense. You can actually see some of the Interstate highways. I guess McD doesn't like to let anyone travel very far on a thoroughfare without Ronald standing there to wave at them as they pass.
