Study Notes

Map Components

Titles provide the map's purpose
Compass roses show cardinal and intermediate directions
Legends/keys explain symbols
Scales show the ratio of map units to real units

Reference Maps

Focus on location of things like countries, cities, and rivers
Often used for daily life (e.g., street maps)

Thematic Maps

Highlight spatial patterns of geographic attributes or statistics
For example, a thematic map might show population distribution within cities alongside city locations (as shown on a reference map)
Choropleth maps use colors or shading to represent value
Darker shades show higher values
Dot maps use uniform dots to indicate density and distribution (more dots = higher value)
Graduated/proportional symbol maps show value with different sized symbols (e.g., circles)
Isoline maps connect areas with equal value with lines
Cartograms distort land area based on another variable (larger area indicates higher values of a variable)

Types of Density

Arithmetic density: number of people per unit of total land area
Physiological density: number of people per unit of arable land
Agricultural density: number of farmers per unit of arable land

Projections

Methods of flattening the round Earth on a map
Map projections cause distortion of shape, area, distance, and/or direction
Maps are most accurate in the middle
