For many maps, major cities (e.g. population over 1,500,001) use a large solid black circle as the symbol. Cities with populations 1,000,001 to 1,500,000 and cities up to 1,000,000 each use a smaller solid black circle. State capital often uses a solid black star symbol on a map.

How can you tell the size of cities on a map?

It is common for a map "key" or legend to gauge the size of cities on a map. For example, a city with a population of over 200,000 may be marked by a black dot surrounded by a black bordered circle line. White is the shade between the black dot and the black line of the circle.
