Middle Level Thematic Map
Middle level thematic maps should use clear bright colours and slightly more abstract symbols though retaining a clear hierarchical structure when mapping statistical data. This example is from the Oxford Atlas Project 2, published by Oxford University Press, Melbourne.
Junior Level Thematic Map
Junior level thematic maps should use clear bright colours and graphical symbols to create uncluttered maps. Key descriptions should be simple and age appropriate. This example is from the East Africa Wall Map published by Macmillan Education, Oxford.
Political Map
Political maps generally show the different levels of administrative areas and can also show settlement and transport patterns. This example is in Portuguese and comes from the Angola Atlas Geográfico Ensino Secundário published by Macmillan Education, Oxford.
Land Cover Map
Land cover maps show the generalised land cover and in this case that data is draped over a digital elevation model (DEM) and other data added - settlement, transport and country borders. This example is from the Oxford Atlas published by Oxford University Press, Melbourne and is also available on-line in obook format or in the Oxford Atlas app for iPad.
Statistical Map
Statistical maps of areas generally use the choropleth mapping method where a colour progression is used to depict the statistical data. Mapping of point symbols representing statistical data also uses a graduated symbol data set. This example is from the Oxford Atlas published by Oxford University Press, Melbourne.
Junior Level Physical Map
Junior level atlas maps require clear colours, fonts and symbols with concrete, simple examples of direction indicators and scale. As well as a simple alphanumeric indexing system and uncluttered map areas. This example is from the Oxford Atlas Project 1 published by Oxford University Press, Melbourne.
Middle Level Physical Map
Middle level atlas maps require clear colours, fonts and symbols with slightly more complex examples of direction indicators and scale. An alphanumeric indexing system based on simple latitude and longitude lines. This example is from the Macmillan Secondary School Atlas for Kenya published by Macmillan Kenya, Nairobi.
Upper Level Physical Map
Upper level atlas maps require clear colours, fonts and symbols and may use more complex examples of direction indicators and scale. Text elements can be a little smaller and use a greater variety in appearance. An alphanumeric indexing system based on simple latitude and longitude lines. This example is from the Oxford Atlas published by Oxford University Press, Melbourne.
