This is what the author of the map says about weirdly located dots: Nobody lives in Central Park/Pier 12/County Lockup/Abandoned Themepark. The census reported that someone lived there. This says someone lives in the middle of a lake. The census reported that someone lives in a block which includes a lake, and that's where their dot was randomly placed. Also, some people live in the middle of lakes.

There is a bridge that runs across the extreme western end of Lake Ontario. It's called the Burlington Skyway. (Essentially, it allows people traveling around the western edge of the lake to bypass Hamilton.) On this (otherwise very interesting map), the Burlington Skyway is covered with dots. So far as I know, no one lives on the bridge. Why does it have any dots? Chris --- Christopher D.
