  The search for cosmic strings has been of renewed interest with the advent of
precision cosmology. In this note we give a quantitative description of the
nonlinear matter density fluctuations that can form from a scaling network of
cosmic string wakes. Specifically, we compute the distribution of dark matter
halos. These halos would possess strong correlations in position space that
should have survived until today. We also discuss the challenges involved in
their detection due to their small size and the complex dynamics of their
formation.
