Snow plotted the locations where the disease was spreading and compared it with the city dwellers that depended on two water companies.

When talking about healthcare in Haiti, it is impossible to ignore the forty-five-second earthquake that decimated the hospitals and clinics in Haitian Capital to rubbles. The calamity reverted all the advancements gained back to the medical stone age.
Even though Haiti did not have modern medical facilities and enough health care practitioners, the quake destroyed all the health care infrastructure that was already available; transport network, water and sanitation systems and electricity, thus, shutting down the delivery of health care services.
Haiti is a country trapped in the medical backwater. Close to 80% of the country’s population live ...

Spatial Analysis and Dr. John Snow

Given the relationship between the cholera epidemic and the locations of water pumps, it may be concluded from the Dr. John Snow's dot map that the pump on the Broad Street in London was the source of cholera epidemic – since the number of dots indicating the cases of cholera in 1854 are concentrated mostly around that pump.
