This population profile shows the distribution of age groups among the total population in the Tasman District during the years 1991, 1996, 2001. Other populations profiles might show other demographic data such as race, ethnicity, or gender. 
DLG
This digital line graphic was produced by USGS and is of Georgia. This particular maps shows both natural and built features. Isopach
This is sonar imagery laid over isopach contours of sediment thickness. The isopach contour lines were derived using seismic interpretations.http://http//woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/sfmapping/sonar_interp.htm
Isopleth
This is a isopleth map of Jacksonville Florida showing the extent of toxic releases into the air from area municipal waste incinerators. The isopleth line shows the five year average of toxic chemicals in the air at 100 micrograms per cubic meter. 
Isohyets
This is an Isohyets map of Gujarat. The isoyet lines connect points with equal amounts of rainfall for a given time. This map doesn't give the time and I'm guessing the units of the isohyets are in mm. This information would improve the overall usefulness of this map.

This a Digital Raster Graphic in the Big bend area of Florida. This is scanned topographic data that includes all collar information and can be added as a data layer in maps produced using gis. 
DOQQ
This is a map showing DOQQ coverage of Michigan & Wisconsin. Each blue square represents areas where digital ortho photos have been completed by flying over and taking aerial photos. 
Lorenz Curve
This is a Lorenz curve showing the distribution of income. The curve allows you to see the equality of the data by use of the equal distribution line that goes through the center of the map. What is clear from this map is that a small number of the population controls a large majority of the capital.
Nominal area Choropleth Map
This is a map of different land coverage in New Hampshire. The colors have no numeric value and the types of coverage have no hierarchical order. Unclassified Choropleth
This map shows frequency of lightening strikes per square mile. It is unclassified by any specific range but instead is showed using a continuous color scale that changes with every strike. Unstandardized Choropleth
This a un-standardized map of Louisiana that represents the percent Cajun population by parish. It is un-standardized because it does not take into account the area of each parish. 
Standardized Choropleth
This map shows population distribution of Florida in 2000. The data is standardized by density per square mile.Bivariate Choropleth
This is a map looking at the quality of health care for various countries. It is technically a multivariate map because it shows data for a particular\ geographical area and is classified by multiple phenomenon at one time. In this case Heath care spending per capita, rank of quality of health care, life expectancy, and infant mortality. http://http://www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/economics/healthcare-reform-is-the-nhs-a-socialist-nightmare-44907.aspx

Correlation Matrix
The following correlation matrix shows the correlation between the cluster moments for electrons and pions to try and find optimal pairs. Statistical Graph
This statistical graph is of foreign students in US schools. From the graph you can see that the biggest percentage of exchange students in the US are from Asia and that Oceanian students hold the smallest percent. LIDAR
These are LIDAR images of Mt. St Helen, WA. from 2003 to 2004. You are able to see the build up of snow through the year ultimately causing a avalanche. The images are taken by shooting light rays from an airplane and recording the data. Climograph
This is a climograph showing the correlation of between participation and temperature averages in San Francisco, CA. You can see the temperatures drop as precipitation rises.
Scatter Plot
http://www.baihp.org/casestud/hdh_roof/images/energy_scatter.gif This is a scatter plot that demonstrates the energy saving capabilities of white metal roofs. The blue triangles represent readings of temperature and energy usage for white metal roofs and the red squares represent the same variables except for shingled roofs. You can see the linear trend of increased temperature that correlates to the same trend in increase energy usage but what is also clear is how much lower both the temperature and energy usage are for white roofs over the shingled roofs.

Box Plot
This is a box plot made of football player ESPN passer ratings. With a maximum rating of 200 and a minimum of 80, the most consistent of the players seem to be Tebow and McCoy. While McCoy's max rating isn't as high both of their medians fall within their inter quartile range. Triangular plot
While the image gives a pretty good description of what this plot represents a generalization can be made in terms of these primates sampled not having much meat matter in their diets. If I were to plot myself here I would probably be more to the left about half way up. Histogram
.JPG)
This is a histogram that represents the recorded hourly wind speeds at Plymouth Mountbatten. A histogram is appropriate for this representation because they are only interested in one element and that is wind. The graph shows that as the average hourly wind speed of "u" increases the number of occurrences decreases. Stem and Leaf plot
This stem and leaf plot is sample data of a single healthcare provider on the amount of money women paid for a single mammogram. The sample size was 221 as shown by the blue numbers on the right but also by counting the red squares. Each square is worth up to 3 individuals, according to the article. The mean for the procedure was $546 and the median and mode were both $703. Star plot
The following star plot was created in a project that was testing the possibility of automating some of the steps taken in the process of designing space exploration equipment. The authors explain in this star plot the center represents the most desirable results. The red line represents the hand crafted MER IDD, and is used for comparison and validation of the approach.

The proportion or area of the circle is indicative of the width of the river bed, the color indicates water color and the position of the black dot within the triangle indicates the type of material found. 
Choropleth map
This choropleth map was created by a student using the American Fact finder function on the census website. It uses a color scheme to the percent Hispanic or Latino in Florida by county. There is an obvious trend of southern counties having a higher percentage of Hispanic or Latino per capita. 
Dot Distribution
This a dot distribution map of Virgina showing the population distribution across the country side. The data used for this map was 2000 census data and when compared to historical data they found that the distribution is the same as in the 1900 census, however this map shows that there are twice as many dots which represent rapid growth in population density. 
Propaganda
This is a propaganda map of Florida that divides the State into 5 sections. What the map is trying to explain is the great diversity of amongst the state and the challenges that creates for campaigning in the state. Notice, Miami Dade is its own state. 
PLSS
This is a map of townships in Oneida County, Wisconsin. You can see the around the border of the map the "T" township number "N" North and also the "R" Rang number East that corresponds to each of the squares. Also with in each individual square you can see the page number of where the PLSS description can be found on that township. The description also points out the difference between a township and a town and points to teh Town of Minocqua and its 5 townships within it as an example.Saturday, July 10, 2010
Cadastral
This is a really cool cadastral map created by Laura Chapman from FSU. She used esri's ArcGIS and with data from the property appraisers site created this really neat Existing Land Use Map. Each of the parcels when clicked on provide the owners name, size, value, and more. She said she vibrant colors of Van Gogh and other artist to give the map a fine art quality, which I really liked.Thematic Map
This a thematic map of Florida using census data form 2002 that shows the value of retail sales per capita. It is clear from the map that most of the counties with the highest value in sales for their population are those located either on the coast or with heavy amounts of agriculture.Topographic map
