McDonald's Across America

This map shows all of the 13,000 McDonald's fast food restaurants in the Continental United States. This map was created by Stephen Von Worley at weathersealed.com. Each light represents one McDonald's restaurant and the glowing area shows the client base each one reaches. According to the map, the farthest point anyone in the United States could be away from a McDonald's is 150 miles. Another interesting aspect of the map is you can clearly see the outline of the United States, you can clearly identify where the major cities are, and even identify heavily travelled roads, because of the density of the lights.
