Discussion

A thematic map differs from a general reference map principally in that it

  • A.concentrates on the distribution of one subject
  • B.is always drawn at a considerably smaller scale
  • C.is published by a government mapping agency
  • D.shows the graticule rather than a grid of squares

Answer: A

Correct answer: concentrates on the distribution of one subject

A general reference map shows whatever is there - roads, rivers, settlements, relief - without arguing for any of it. A thematic map takes one subject and makes its distribution the point of the sheet, with everything else demoted to a base that locates the theme. Scale, publisher and coordinate framework have nothing to do with the distinction; a thematic map may be at any scale and produced by anyone.
