Infrared aerial photo is photography taken of the ground from a distance object in the air, such as a satellite, aircraft, rocket, balloon, etc. This photo was taken of Town of Massena, NY. Although the use of the photo wasn't clear, I believe it was used for land use, zoning, or environmental use.

Cartographic Animations

Cartographic animations involve the aspects of cartograms with the use of different elements, such as lines and dots to represent data. The difference from regular cartograms is the use of animation. The cartogram above features population of London. The map features animation in which with each year change, the map's colors change in reference to the migration of the population from 2001-2031.

According to  McGraw-Hill Science & Technology Dictionary: via answers.com a Statistical map is “A special type of map in which the variation in quantity of a factor such as rainfall, population, or crops in a geographic area is indicated; a dot map is one type. In the map above, it features new and refinanced mortgages into loans with different payment options. The darker the color, the higher the averages.

Cartograms are simplified data condensed into a visual representation on a map. These maps use lines, dots, and other symbols to represent different types of data. In the map above, it features the wealth of nations in 2002. The size of each country is a reflection of its wealth; the more wealthier countries are larger.

Flow maps are a type of map used to layout sequences, like directions or ordering of thoughts. They can also be used to show the movement or “flow” of things. In the flow map, it features the migration into and out of southeast Asia.

Isoline

Isoline maps are used to show three-dimensional models as two-dimensional. Isoline maps are used to show a number of different things, some of which include difference in temperature on weather maps as well as populations of people around the world. The map above features what Isolines look like on a map and how they're read.

Dot Distribution

Dot distribution maps are maps in which dots are used to represent spatial patterns. For example, a map could represent the population density of the United States using dots. Larger dots or a more distribution of dots would represent larger populations in certain areas of the United States. The map above features, the United States population in 2000. Each dot represents 10,000 people.
