Thematic Map

This is a Thematic Map of the United States. A Thematic Map is a type of map or chart that is designed to show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area. These maps are a great resource to get cartographical information on various themes. This is a Thematic Map which shows the population percent change from 1990-1996. As you can see most of the western part of the United States has changed drastically along with Florida and Georgia. There has been little change in the northern eastern part of the United States.
