Cartograms
 What is a cartogram?
 A cartogram is a specialty map, sometimes
drawn with straight lines, in which countries or
regions are sized based on a set of data,
such as population figures, rather than land
mass.
 The general shapes and relative locations of
countries or regions are drawn similar to a regular
map.
 Remember the cartogram we have seen already in
this chapter?
