Thematic map

These maps can have "physical, social, political, cultural, economic, sociological, agricultural, or any other aspects of a city, state, region, nation, or continent".[1] There are a lot of these maps on the internet but I think the map above is a good example as it shows the physical geography and a technique called proportional symbolizing that shows the maritime zones of Australia.
