Thematic Maps

http://www.gigawiz.com/thematic.html


A thematic map will focus on spatial distributions of phenomenon for a theme that will show results for different locations. An example of different themes that these maps can convey are political, racial, population, health concerns such as AIDS or HCV, age groups and rainfall. These maps will always include specific information so that they are easy to read and follow. In the thematic map above it shows the United States and each state boundary that favors the Republican or Democratic Party. This particular map is easy to identify, the two colors used to label between the political parties and the areas that favor a particular party over the other are easy to identify and see. Whatever the theme may be it will use different colors to represent the theme and also visible boundaries to show specific information for that area.
