Cartogram Map



A Cartogram map is a map in which some thematic mapping variable is substituted for land area. The space of the map is distorted in order to convey the information of this alternate variable. This map is a cartogram map because it shows each state within the United States according to the size of its population rather than its geographic size with the states shape and sizes being distorted to deliver the concept.
