On lds.org/maps, the map doesn't show groups (apparently), so here's a tiny list of cities that are rather far from a location and have a population of 10,000 or more that may be considered for a branch
*Populations are extracted from Google Maps. Likely will differ as of now but not by much.
**Distances are straightedge estimates from Google maps, so actual travel time from city to meetinghouse will probably be longer.
***I have edited this to show the distance from the city to chapel by Google maps. The new mileage units reflect the driving distance.
