This map makes zero sense. I need to see the data to understand I think. I'm unfamiliar with the apparently majority of Hawaiian cities with the name "Hawaiian" in them? In fact, there isn't a single one to my knowledge.
And while Kansas City and Souix City or NYC all have city in the name, I'm scrolling around Georgia for instance, and there isn't a single "______ City" in the state that I can see.
Going down Wikipedia's list of municipalities in Georgia I see Garden City, Iron City, Junction City, Lake City, Lumber City, Mountain City, Peachtree City, Ray City, Sale City, Twin City, and Union City. Despite the "city" element, a good number of them are towns of a few hundred people and wouldn't be easy to spot on a map
Edit: same method for Hawai'i shows Hawaiian Acres, Hawaiian Paradise Park, Hawaiian Ocean View, and Hawaiian Beaches
I guess it doesn't take very many to make the map if there are no/few other identifiable naming conventions. Fair strategy scrolling municipalities on Wikipedia - thanks for that.
