Caption: Figure 4.

Gaussian-smoothed DM excess map (as in the middle panel of Figure 2) with nearby supercluster positions overlaid. Colored circles and convex-hull outlines show member clusters from four catalogs: CLASSIX superclusters (H. Böhringer & G. Chon 2021)—Perseus–Pisces (cyan), Coma (lime), Hercules (orange), and Lacerta (magenta); the Ursa Major supercluster from F. G. Kopylova & A. I. Kopylov (2009) (gold); the Leo supercluster from F. G. Kopylova & A. I. Kopylov (2011) (salmon); and the Corona Borealis supercluster from D. W. Pearson et al. (2014) (sky blue). All labels are placed adjacent to their respective convex-hull outlines. The gray curve marks the Galactic plane. The Wall 1 feature coincides with the Ursa Major supercluster, and the more tentative Wall 2 feature coincides with the Perseus–Pisces supercluster.
