20. Unclassed Choropleth Map

This choropleth map is unclassified, meaning it does not correlate the shaded areas with quantized numbers to the map reader. Because they are unclassified it is easy to manipulate them so that they convey what the mapper wants rather than what is actually true. It neglects whether the map is areally averaged or what techniques were used to obtain the data shown.
