I had to look at the full zoom of the picture because something seemed odd. Then it made more sense: there are blastulae of cities with move lawns on the outside than in the city centers. It's more like a map of suburbia.
I expected more lawn in the rural parts of western New York, one of my easiest points of reference. You drive along and there are woods and fields and woods and fields.
Batavia (between Rochester and Buffalo) is where they grow the lawns for a lot of America. I could even see the turf farm as a small square on the map.
I guess there are enough other things growing in the east (trees, bushes) to outnumber the grass lawns.
