Description: A map of population density as of 1898 AD. The scale is shown as Sparse, Moderately dense and dense. "Although people are found in nearly all parts of the world, very many more live in some parts than in others, A region very thickly peopled is said to have great density of population. In other regions one might travel for hundreds or even thousands of miles, seldom, if ever, seeing a human being or any sign that people live there. Such a region is said to be thinly peopled, or to have a sparse population." — Redway, 1898. The map includes the entire earth except Antarctica.
