Cloropleth Maps


Derived from Greek origin: Cloropleth means "Cloro -place, pleth - value"

A type of thematic map; Cloropleth maps are illustrations of areas, either colored or shaded, that reflect values of a phenomenon or to display classes of values. Cloropleth maps are arranged in various ways depending on the values that are to be interpreted; either quantative or qualitative area variables.
