A thematic map is a map which shows a theme found in an area. The theme may be average household income, single family homes, grocery stores, or whatever theme the cartographer wishes to prove.
The map above is meant to show the median age per state shown on the map. As an example; a thematic map could be made, by using registered voter's party affiliation, to show which political party has the most members in a location.
