Thematic Map


A Thematic Map is a map that focuses on a specific theme or topic. They show spatial distribution for specific data themes. They typically don't show natural features, unless they are being used as reference points to enhance the maps theme or focus. The map above is a map showing Canada's population change in certain locations from 1996 to 2001. The map has a certain theme that it is trying to portray and uses territorial and provincial borders to give it more of a reference.
