Proportional Circle Map


http://www.neiu.edu/~nerobert/Cartography.htm

Proportional circle maps associate a particular symbol, typically a circle, with a particular point on a map, such as the center of a city, or the capital city of a country. The diameter of the circle represents some function of the quantity being visualized. The proportional circle map above is a map of the western U.S. illustrating the American Indian population of each state based on Census Bureau data from 1990.
