Well, I had to solve this problem myself.  I hope that doesn't prove I
should have posted it.  I did spend a lot of time on it, both before and
after posting.

Here is a reasonable-looking histogram based on logged data:

hist(log10(area_Mh), 12, xlab="Area (Mh)", main="", axes=FALSE)
axis(1, labels=formatC(10^(axTicks(1)), digits=3))
axis(2)
