Working with Thematic Maps

There are many types of maps.  Today, we will look at relief maps that show topography, population maps that show density, and different types of thematic maps.

Look at the thematic maps slide show.  What does each map show us?


Look at the following maps of the United States.




What does each dot, or each color, represent?  Based on the maps, write down one statement/observation and one question about the following topics:

Race/ethnicity
Income
Housing/Families
Education
