Map Types

Choropleth Maps express to us the differences between bordered areas that are either different colors or patterns. Differences can vary between population sizes to income groups or as we see above, tones.
Dot Density Maps are consisted of dots that represent a value of something such as crops grown or in this case housing locations in Florida.
 
Bathymetric maps depict water depths using lines that have different depth values and most times are colored in like the one above to show the depths.
 
Proportional Symbol maps have different sizes of a symbol to represent data from specific locations on a map. In this one particular the different areas of each circle show coal consumption by state.
