The map also shows boundary lines within the country for easier understanding. The trend of interest is obesity and where it is located.
Univariate Choropleth Map
This map shows the county of Burnside. It is different shades of black in order to differentiate between the areas of distinction. The theme is to graphically portray a county by showing its borders.
Continuously variable proportional circle map
This map attempts to estimate the population of Michigan and its surrounding areas. The map was create in 1971. The circles are correlated with population density by size and color. The trend of interest is population density in this particular area.
Bivariate Cloropleth Map
This map shows the population change in Russia on the graph on the right hand side. The left hand side graph shows the population in just the year 2002. Both graphs use color to denote data. The trend of these graphs is population in Russia over varying times.

Digital Line Graph (DLG)
This map shows the city of downtown Savannah, Georgia. Included are its waterways, transportation networks, boundaries and major points of interest within the city. The digital scale was 1 to 100,000. The general trend for this map is the linear information that is occurring in downtown Savannah.
Digital Raster Graphics (DRG)
This DRG map illustrates the flow of the Colorado River through Texas. DRG's incorporate all topographical information for the area. This map specifically shows the waterways, buildings, roads and elevations. The theme of this map is showing a thorough topographical display of one area in Texas.
Isopleth Map
This map shows the estimated predications of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from 1974 to 1984 in North Carolina. The map is shaded darker in order to show where the highest incidence of SIDS may occur. The trend of the map is portraying SIDS rate geographically across North Carolina.
Isopach Map
Isopach maps show the thickness of sediment deposits. In this map the thickness in meters of Tioga Bentonite is show with a dark black line. Tioga Bentonite was a deposit of sediment from a volcano eruption millions of years ago. From this map, researchers are able to study a volcanic eruption that occurred many years ago. The theme of this map is thickness of sedimentary deposits, but it also includes city boundaries and cities.
Isohyet Map
