This map illustrates the amount of hunting that occurs in different areas of the United States (lower 48). I chose it because it is easy to understand and the color scheme fits with the theme (hunting). It is interesting because there appears to be very little hunting on the coasts, and a lot more hunting in the north and west/mid-west. I also chose it because it is accurate as a choropleth map, as the data is standardized as percentages, and the color scheme makes sense. The link also contains some more interesting thematic maps.
