A simplified map of the United States highlights Lumen optical paths across several major metropolitan areas. Circular markers with numbers indicate path counts in cities including Silicon Valley / San Jose, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Columbus / Central Ohio, Atlanta, and Northern Virginia / Ashburn. The design uses teal and black circles with white numerals such as 3, 4, 5, and 6 to differentiate locations. Clean typography and minimal graphics emphasize network coverage information.
