Cartogram
The Geospatial Glossary, published by the Geospatial Commission, and accessed on 17 September 2022, defines a cartogram as: ‘…a map in which some thematic mapping variable – such as travel time, population, or GNP – is substituted for land area or distance. The geometry or space of the map is distorted, sometimes extremely, in order to convey the information of this alternate variable.’
