Millions of Americans gather each November to celebrate family solidarity and enjoy a calorieladen feast. But have you ever contemplated the origins of the heaps of vegetables, fowl, and sweets that we pass around the table?

The maps presented here reveal a surprising diversity of patterns and concentrations. We hope that they'll elicit an appreciation for the farmers who nurture this cornucopia, and the distribution systems that bring them to your table.

This animated map was made using Esri's ArcGIS Pro, Cinema 4D, Arnold, and Adobe After Effects. Please visit http://ow.ly/fm2950xgu0B for more information about ArcGIS Pro.
