Thematic maps

http://soils.usda.gov/use/thematic/temp_regimes.html

The definition of a Thematic Map is right in the word itself. It shows a connection of themes between geographical areas. In this map various types of soil and the regions they are located in are shown. We can relate the soil we have in Tallahassee to what is common in Kansas State. This could be particularly useful to farmers who need a particular type of soil to grow their crop. If they are looking to expand their businesses, they could use a map such as this to see if where they want to move will tolerate the crops they bring with them.
