Thematic maps is a type of map designed to show a particular theme of interest,for instance population or density,within a given geographic space. These maps can communicate social, economic, cultural, etc themes through differences in the use of coloring, shading, or placing of symbols on map. The map above is a thematic map that conveys the theme of the population density of Hispanics in the United States. It conveys this information through the use of colors and breaking the map of the United States into squares of the different states.
