Continuously variable proportional circle maps utilize circles to create point data. The circles are in proportion to the variable being measured. This map is obviously of Canada. The circles represent the population distribution in 1980.

A Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) map is usually created by the USGS (US Geological Survey). This map shows a proposed hiking trip route. In this map, purple represents the start of the trip and red is the end. The green, yellow and orange show the track at the north end of the map, showing the order of the points.

Propaganda maps
Propaganda Maps are used to incite emotions in others towards a particular cause. Hitler believed that it was the manipulative power over one's emotions that would be of an enormous value to him. Propaganda maps have also been used to extend ideas to the illiterate masses. This map was created by the French to show the ports and shipping centers that were bombed by the Luftwaffe.

Thematic Map
Thematic Maps are maps that reflect a certain theme of an area. Thematic maps are used to show vegetation, land use, soil type, etc., by using different colors or patterns. This map shows the surface temperature of the ocean through color-coding.

Mental Map
Mental maps are a guide of the paths we go through in life. These soldiers are looking at the map for what? who to conquer next? Carving our their piece of the world? The dimensions of a country may be influenced by war coverage through the media or through the person's own perception of how they see the size of their country.
