Thematic Map




A thematic map is designed to specifically address a certain theme within a geographic area. The themes are represented by shades of color and can portray physical, social, political, geographical, cultural, economical or any other aspect of a given region.

The above image is a thematic map of the U.S. showing the effects of a drought across the land.
