Chorpleth Map

This map was taken from http://my.ilstu.edu/~jrcarter/Geo204/Choro/Tom/

This is a good example of a Choropleth Map.  This is a map that uses different colors or shades of colors in predefined aerial units.  This specific map shows the percent of persons who are Hispanic or Latino in Florida by county from the 2000 census.  It uses a sequential color-scheme because this is the best color scheme to use when dealing with quantitative data.
