The idea of the MeeshQuest project is to emulate some of the functionality of map sites like [http://www.mapquest.com/ MapQuest] or [http://maps.google.com/ Google Maps].  We will need a database of cities, which are just named points in the plane.  From this, we want to be able to draw pictures of a given region showing the cities contained in that region.  We will get cities from the database and insert them into a spatial datastructure that can be used to draw a picture.  The basic spatial datastructure we will use is a [[quadtree]] -- a sort of 2-dimensional binary search tree.
