Here's a link to the satellite image:

I was standing in the large mass on the east side of base of the Washington Monument. From ground level, it looked like it was a nearly solid mass of people all the way to the Capitol. When the ceremony ended and we walked over to the west side of the monument to head toward 18th & Constitution, everyone in my area was astonished to see people all the way to the Lincoln Memorial (there were jumbotrons all the way to the Lincoln). But from the satellite photos, it was evident that people were in a series of distinct masses along the Mall. The spaces were due to either being fenced off and/or not being able to view a jumbotron from the area.
