Cartogram


A cartogram is a thematic map where certain aspects are distorted to demonstrate a the value of something. This is a cartogram of the population of the continental US by county. You can see how distored the map has gotten; it is barely recognizable aside from the inlaid guidelines. If you look specifically at the counties in Florida, a state we know well, you can see which couties have the highest population concentration.
