TYPES OF MAPS AND PROJECTIONS

TYPES OF MAPS Projections Political Physical Thematic Chloropleth map, cartograms, flow line, isoline, dot, GIS, GPS Why are we changing maps?

Chloropleth Maps

Spending per capita on secondary education Cartograms – statistical data presented on a distribution map

World population, 1500 World Population, 2002

Wealth, 1960 Projected wealth, 2015 GDP Per Capita, 2000

Each dot = 50,000 people Dot map

Isoline maps

Flow line maps

World map of Erastosthones What is peculiar? Note grid lines. Oriented to the East. Why? The sun rises in the East.

World Map of Eratosthenes 200 BC Note grid lines. First meridian at Alexandria Caspian Sea connected to a world ocean. Based on info gathered by Alexander the Great Circumference 25,000 miles
