Large datasets can usually be very difficult to visualize and convey an easily understandable message to the viewer. I had a dataset consisting of 100 years of fire perimeter data for the US, with most of the perimeters overlapping each other. The acreage of each wildfire perimeter was standardized to a value between 0 and 1, then each value was added to its corresponding 100 square mile hexagon bin. The result gives an easy way to visualize the prevalence of wildfires over the last 100 years.
