Pulsar timing arrays continue to play a major role in the direct detection efforts of gravitational waves. As our understanding of Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) increases we begin to wonder where detectable gravitational waves are occurring in the local sky. In an attempt to create that picture, we have compiled galactic databases and created a map of predicted gravitational power vs sky position in hopes of discovering if regions of enhanced gravitational wave power density are likely to exist. These "hotspots" could give a better idea of where to tune our PTAs in the sky and help give a observational direction to detection efforts.
