Transit map
A transit map is a topological map used to illustrate the routes and stations within a public transport system. This is a transit map of the subway lines in Washington DC.
Road atlas
A road atlas is a map of streets, roads, highways etc. of a given location. This road atlas is a section of Ohio.
Dymaxion map
The Dymaxion map also known as the Fuller map is a projection of a world map onto the surface of a polyhedron, which can be unfolded and flattened to two dimensions. It depicts the earth's continents as "one island." The way its arranged disrupts the map only in order to preserve shapes and sizes.
Floor plan
A floor plan is an aerial view of each level of a building. It usually shows what each room on each floor of a building looks like and the square footage. this one is a floor plan of a condo.
Dasymetric map
A dasymetric map is a type of thematic map, that uses areal symbols to spatially classify volumetric data. this one shows climate and plant hardiness zones in north america.
Range graded proportional circle map
A range graded proportional circle map is a proportional circle map that shows the circles in relation to ranges of data. this one shows course offerings in cartography at different universities and colleges in different states .
Correlation matrix
"The correlation matrix of n random variables X1, ..., Xn is the n × n matrix whose i,j entry is corr(Xi, Xj)." This correlation matrix is on the currency of different countries.
Similarity matrix
Stem and leaf plot
This is an example of what one would look like.
box plots
a box plot is a way of graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their five-number summaries: sample minimum, lower quartile (Q1), median (Q2), upper quartile (Q3) and the sample maximum. this box plot shows car mileage in different countries.
Histogram
a histogram is a graphical representation, showing a visual impression of the distribution of data. It shows an estimate of the probability distribution of a continuous variable. This shows US immigration from northern European countries.
Population profile
Apopulation profile is a chart showing the number of people as a function of their ages. this chart shows the population profile of less developed countries in the year 2000
Index value plot
An index value plot is a way to show the relativity of all values to an indexed value. Here this graph displays trends in the FTSE stock-market index.
Lorenz Curve
The Lorenz curve is a graphical representation of the proportionality of a distribution. This graph is just an example of what consists of a Lorenz curve.
Bilateral grap
A bilateral graph displays increases on one side of a zero line and a decreases on the other side. Bilateral graphs are used to show both the positive and negative values of data. This map displays selected countries’ bilateral trade balance with China by % of each country’s GDP.
Standardized choropleth map
Standardized choropleth maps allow comparison of distribution among different areas. This map displays mortality ratio data by county of high risk clusters of cervical cancer.
Univariate choropleth map
A univariate choropleth map is a choropleth map that shows only data for one variable. This map shows the discovery of Disease spatial pattern in the US.
Bivariate choropleth map
A bivariate choropleth map shows 2 different sets of data on one map. This map shows the population and the median house values.
Unclassed choropleth map
An unclassed choropleth map numbers of categories is equal to the number of data values. The unclassed choropleth map is on the right side of this picture.
Classed choropleth map
These maps show statistics for a given area by using different shading. This map shows the deaths in Australia during 1997-2000 from all causes under the age of 1 year.
Scatterplot
A scatter plot also known as a scattergraph is a type of mathematical diagram that uses Cartesian coordinates to show values for two variables for a set of data. The data is shown as a collection of points. This scatter plot shows the relationship between the height and weight of boys.

Cartographic animation
http://cartography2.org/Chapters/page6/OverviewAnimated.html
Cartographic animations are maps that are animated. This shows the surface precipitation, winds, clouds & reflectivity in Atlanta, during the 1996 Olympics.
Isopleth maps
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=132504
An isopleth map generalizes and simplifies data with a continuous distribution. This map shows deaths in the counties of California from H1N1 in 2009.
Isopach maps
http://www.kgs.ku.edu/PRS/Coal/mineral.html
Isopach maps are maps that show the thickness of rock of a given area. This map shows the thickness of coal in each area given.
Isohyets
Isohyet maps show a line joining points of equal precipitation on a map. This map shows precipitation in January 2010.
Proportional circle map
http://oliverobrien.co.uk/2010/05/general-election-swings-visualisation/
The proportional circle map uses circles of different sizes to represent data associated with different areas or locations within the map. This image shows general election swings in the UK.
Doppler Radar
http://www.nwrc.usgs.gov/about/capabilities/bird-radar.htm
A doppler radar is radar that uses the Doppler shift to measure velocity. This radar provides an instantaneous, broad-scale, and quantitative measurement of bird abundance in relation to landscape features.
DLG
DLG stands for digital line graph and are data files containing vector representations of cartographic information derived from USGS maps and related sources. This is a map of Illinois and missouri at 1:2,000,000 & 1:24,000 scale.
DRG
http://topomaps.usgs.gov/drg/
DRG stands for digital raster graphic. A DRG is a digital raster graphic scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey. The image shown inside the map is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection.
Star Plot
http://starplot.info/
A star plot is a graphical representation of small multi-variate data sets. This graph is an example of fictitious speech quality.
Cartograms
http://amphibiaweb.org/amphibian/cartograms/
A cartogram is a map in which some thematic mapping variable is substituted for land area or distance. This map shows where all the threatened and endangered species of amphibians are all over the world.
Statistical Map
http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/m.dodge/cybergeography/atlas/census.html
A statistical map is a map that shows of a factor such as rainfall, population, or crops in a geographic area. This map shows the growth of internet use in Africa.
Triangular plot
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2007/msg00384.html
A triangle plot, can also be called a ternary plot, is a graph of 3 variables. It usually shows the relative compositions of soils and rocks, but it can be applied to any system of three variables.
Climograph
A climograph is a depiction of the monthly precipitation and temperature conditions for a given location. This is a climograph of Memphis, Tennessee.
Thematic map
Thematic maps are used to show a particular theme associated with a specific geographic area. They can show physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of the given area. This map shows the land reserves of hawaii.
PLSS
PLSS stands for public land survey system. It is used to subdivide and describe land in the US. This PLSS map is of the original PLSS of Scott county, showing all of the roads.
