Thematic Maps


     This is a type of map especially designed to show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. They can portray physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of a city, state, region, etc. They are not just for showing natural features; instead, these items are simply used as reference points to enhance one's understanding of the map's theme and purpose. This is a thematic map which because it shows the population percent change from 1990-2000 in the United States. As you can see, most of the western part of the United States has changed drastically along with Florida and Georgia and there has only been a little change in the northern eastern part of the United States.
