Description

Various `mapalgo` settings are bilinear by default, with some single-point sites set to nearest-neighbor. It's not clear:
- Why those sites are set to nearest-neighbor
- Why other sites aren't

`popdensmapalgo` has some sites missing (e.g., `1x1_smallvilleIA`):

Same for `lightngmapalgo`:

`lai_mapalgo` has some sites repeated (e.g., `1x1_brazil`) and some sites missing (e.g., `1x1_smallvilleIA`):
