this isn't an isolated case, btw. just scroll around censusdots and see how many little dense green spots there are! it's uncanny.
at this point, I don't even need to reference google maps anymore. I've just come to recognize them as correctional facilities now.
BTW, here's an easy way to check: browse censusdots, and when you find one, take the lat/long from the url and put it into google maps.
e.g.:
https://www.censusdots.com/?map=14,44.3047,-90.7826
(note: the zoom level appears after "=" just before the lat/long coordinates (14 in this example))
https://www.google.com/maps/place/@44.3047,-90.7826,14z
(google adds a "z" after the zoom level for their URL scheme)
the resulting google maps view should be a fairly identical to what you're seeing in censusdots, making it pretty easy to make screenshot overlays, zoom in to get more detail on interesting/unlabeled locations you see in censusdots, etc.
