- http://benfry.com/allstreets/ – This visualization by Ben Fry depicts all of the streets in the lower 48 United States: an image of 26 million individual road segments.

Alaska and Hawaii were initially left out for simplicity's sake, but then Ben Fry felt guilty because of the sad emails he received. However, he made the final decision of leaving them out permanently because the two states didn't "work", since there aren't enough roads to outline their shape.
