The data shown here comes from Flight Delay Analysis Dataset
This chart meant to show the "Major U.S. Airports by Departure Delay". The color saturation denotes the total Departure Delay at that airport.
I used the U.S. Geo Map of State Boundaries for the underlying map.
Adapted from Largest Cities by population in 2020 & Fatal Police Shootings Mapped Across the U.S. & Mass School District Boundaries from the Data Visualization class.
The intent of this graph is to map each flight to it's destination location(within the U.S.) with a semitransparent circle to show darker regions as the airports with higher flight departure delay density.
An additional feature that could be added to this chart is the zooming functionality to show the major airports of those states/cities. Also, the values could be shown on a tooltip when you hover over those data points.
