And if you overlay this with a population density map, would they be the exact same? The hot spots are just the major US cities.

There is a large chunk of dark red nearish to me on this map that could be described as one of the least inhabited parts of the state (state forest + wildlife refuge).

Though the groundwater level is probably rather high there so that might mean less chance for it to be filtered out through the soil.
