Hey mate,
Here's your answer.. ☺
A thematic map is a type of map specifically designed to show a particular theme connected with a specific geographic area, such as temperature variation, rainfall distribution or population density.
- A thematic map is a map that focuses on a specific theme or subject area.
- This is in contrast to general reference maps, which show the variety of features—geological, geographical, political—together.
- Thematic maps use the base data, such as coastlines, boundaries and places, only as points of reference for the feature being mapped.
- General maps portray the base data, such as landforms, lines of transportation, settlements, and political boundaries, for their own sake.
- General maps portray the base data, such as landforms, lines of transportation, settlements, and political boundaries, for their own sake.Thematic maps emphasize spatial variation of one or a small number of geographic distributions.
- These distributions may be physical phenomena such as climate or human data such as population density and health issues.
- Barbara Petchenik described the difference as "in place, about space".
- While general reference maps show where something is in space, thematic maps tell a story about that place.
- While general reference maps show where something is in space, thematic maps tell a story about that place.Thematic maps are sometimes referred to as graphic essays that portray spatial variations and interrelationships of geographical distributions.
- Location, of course, is important to provide a reference base of the location of the featured information.
