This is a map from Mass Transit Railway in Hong Kong. It contains 11 lines with different color labeled on them. Also, the map shows that Hong Kong consists of four districts: New Territories, Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island. What I find interesting about this map is that the lines don't have to be in the exact direction. In other words, the lines head either direct north, south or direct southeast. It gives us a image of where we are in the city(if we are in the city) and in which direction is a famous shopping mall.
This is a map from NationMaster.com. It shows the population density in China. The deeper color of a certain area, the more population it have. What I found interesting is that there are certain areas that are white, which means they are uninhabited. Those areas may have people living on them centuries before, but because of the process of desertification, fertile lands became barren areas and people had to leave the infertile land to find somewhere else to live.
This is a map from Cindy Salans Rosehelm. It is a California crop map. This nicely depicted map give us information about where our food we eat every day come from. What makes it different from other maps is that it only give us an impression but not detailed location. It makes things easier for people to understand.
