STARBUCKSMappingDot, Choropleth, Graduated Circle, and Cartogram Maps
1
Four Types of Maps
• Dot - A thematic map in which a dot represents some frequency of the mapped variable. For example, one dot represents 200 Farms in the USA.
• Choropleth - A thematic map in which ranked classes of some variable are depicted with shading patterns or colors for predefined zones (categories).
• Graduated Circle Map - (also called a Proportional Symbol Map) A thematic map in which the size of a symbol (circle) varies in proportion to the frequency or intensity of the mapped variable.
• Cartogram - A map that has been simplified to present a single idea in a diagrammatic way; the base is not normally true to scale. For example, a population density map of the USA would have New Jersey much bigger in size on the map than Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana, because it has a much higher population denstiy. The size of each state is determined by the statistics. 2
The dot value assigned to a dot actually reflects a range of data values. For example, if the legend indicates that one dot equals 500 acres of corn, then in most cases, no dot is placed for county-level geographic areas with data values less than 250 acres of corn, one dot is placed for county-level geographic areas with data values ranging from 250 to 749 acres of corn, two dots are placed for county-level geographic areas with data values ranging from 750 to 1,249 acres of corn, and so on.
The dot-distribution maps portray quantitative data as a dot which represents a number of the phenomenon found within the boundary of a geographic area. The pattern of distributed dots reflects the general locations where the phenomenon was most likely to occur. The pattern and number of dots within a geographic area reveal the density of the phenomenon.

Graduated Circle Map Directions
• Step 1 - Divide the state’s number of Starbucks by 4* and then multiply the answer by 3.141593 (pi). This will give the area for the circle.**
• Step 2 - Divide the area by 3.141593 (pi) to determine the radius squared.
• Step 3 - Take the square root of the radius squared to determine the radius of the circle.
• Step 4 - The radius will be used as the size of the circle. In order to make sure the circle size will not be too big for the map, multiply each state’s radius by 0.1. For example this will makes California’s circle size 2.459 inches instead of 24.59 inches. .
*Each state’s number of Starbucks will be divided by 4 because it is the lowest number of Starbucks of any state (Vermont). **The circle size for each state will be proportional to Vermont, which has a radius of 1.
