What is disappointing, though, is that many maps today have not overcome the anti-Tuftian (if I may) tendency for plotted data to be encrypted via a map “key”. The user must always be hopping between the map and the legend. In this case, at least the double use of the legend to also show population totals puts it a step above many modern equivalents.
