Ah, okay.

But there are stripes over specific areas of interest, like Canada and Africa. Maybe it's just coincidence that I looked at it when they were there?

The really dense strips would be coincidence (those are from recent launches, the satellites in them are slowly spreading apart until they look like all the other satellites). There is always a generally high concentration of satellites at the northern and southern end of the range as a result of orbital mechanics though.
