Question

how can you identify thematic map ?

Answer 1

A thematic mapfocuses on the spatial variability of a specific distribution or theme (such as population density or average annual income), whereas a reference mapfocuses on the location and names of features.

Answer 2

Thematic maps are those which show only a single trait (feature) of a country. For example, in the thematic map of a country of road network, you'll be able to see only the various roads of the country and not rivers, air routes or heritage sites...

Hope this helps!
