Cartogram


A cartogram is a type of thematic map used to represent information in a non conventional way. Instead of using land area as the basis, a cartogram distorts the land area and reconfigures it to represent a certain aspect of information. This specific cartogram shows the 1996 Presidential vote results, through a peculiarly skewed map.
