CHAPTER 10 Distribution Maps ——————SSOmonm.-—C,_, wv 10.1 INTRODUCTION The main speciality of geography is to represent the spatial distribution of geographical elements, because of this characteristics it is also reffered as chorological science. Distribution map is a method of representing various physical, economic, social and cultural elements of the earth surface on a map. This helps in understanding element's relationship with environment and with each other. The development of a method of displaying statistical data on the map according to administrative nits or regional basis. It is the most prolific achievements in cartography which has revolutionised the spatial analysis and our understanding about plethora of patterns. The study of densities, patterns and distributions of elements have helped in understanding the interrelationships on the surface of earth. 10.2 DEFINITION A distribution map represents the pattern of distribution of an element based on statistical data. Some of the important definitions of distribution map are: Erwin Raisz: ‘Geography concerns with the drawing of the Earth. The main tool of drawing the earth is map. Since, all maps represent some kind of distribution of some element, thus, all maps can be referred as distribution map." R.L. Singh: ‘The distributional map represens the pattern of distribution of any one element based on some definite statistical data,” R.N. Mishra: ‘Map drawn to understand the pattern of regional distribution of any geographical element is known as distribution map.* ‘The main goal of distribution maps isto py visualisation for written details and statista at Therefore, distribution maps should be eye cat and understandable. In order to create a distbuine rap, the outline map of the area as the base map ¢ necessary, and the statistical information ofthat are, sufficiently available. 10.3. METHODS OF DRAWING DISTRIBUTION MAPS The methods of drawing distribution maps can te classified into two categories according to the purpose ofthe map: 1. Qualitative methods and 2 Quantitative methods ‘There are numerous qualitative and quantitate methods to draw distribution maps which are discussed in this chapter. 10.3.1 Qualitative Methods The distribution map, which generally shows t pattern of non-numeric entities are made with t qualitative method. In these maps, quantity or densi are not represented, that’s why qualitative methods | also called non-quantitative methods. Instead, tS methods are used to represent qualitative enti created by the color, shading or symbols. Thereare qualitative methods of map making: “f, Choro-chromatic or Colour-patch method 2 Simple Shade Method Pictorial Method 4-Choro-schematic Method 4 Naming Method aAchoro-chromatic or Color-patch method The method of displaying the distribution of aijectslelements by using different colours in the dsribution map is called the colour patch method. The raps reated by this method are known as the Colour ich Maps or the Choro-chromatic map. This method ismore suitable for making land use maps, soil and \egtation type maps, and to show natural, political ‘administrative units on a map. (fig. 10.1) They are of ‘ee types based on color selection and shading, (#)Simple Colour Map: In this map various areas X shown by selecting any random sequence of ‘sluts, arbitrarily. This category includes maps ‘paying political units and natural regions. ()International Colour Scheme: Standard colours ‘temational colour scheme is used in various types “vlour patch maps: © Thetopographical map of international colour Scheme: In this map, the plains are shown in Yellow, the plateau is light brown, the hilly ateas are dark brown and the glaciated parts Ate represented with white colour.

This method is, similar to colour patch method. ‘The only difference is, that in the place of colours, the shades of black colour or black and white scheme is used. This category includes land use maps, soil types map, forest types mapete. (fig. 10.2) 3. Pictorial Method The method of displaying the distribution of elements through pictures in the distribution map is called the pictorial method. In this method, sketches or graphics based on their actual photographs are displayed in the map to display the distribution of objects/elements, In this category, maps displaying tourist spots, settlement types, crops ete. are kept.

Apart from this, these los ae also used to show spatial and temporal Fé of change and evolution. There has been a lot of pment of these methods with increased use of testo cary out large data analysis and software, ct can represent various types of data on maps. Produced by quantitative methods are called ftive distribution maps. Some important "ative methods are: A iw Method 1 lethod i. — at Method ram, ‘ atic Method — mers 2 *pleth Method h i SM€ Of the most commonly used method of Pegg 8PPing.

Is used to show pettge na lement or objet pe nit area in ie help of graded shading or colouring. The dark or high value of shading represents the higher Aensity or value ofthe element and the lighter shading Tepresents the lower value of the element. It is an important tool for human geographers to represent distribution related to population density, population Growth rate, literacy rate, per capita income etc. It is Used to show the spatial distribution and compare the density over different administrative units or regions or any spatial units like countries, states, districts, tehsils ete, ‘Characteristies ‘The basic characteristics of choropleth method are: (a) Grading ofthe shade: The choice of the shade or colour density plays a very important role in visualisation and understandability of the distribution of the elements on achoropleth map. The basic principle of shading in a choropleth method is that the depth of the shade is directly proportional to the intensity or density ofthe element, thus the grade of the shade or the intensity of a colour presents the visual clue to the ‘map reader about the density. For example, darker shade represents the higher population density and lighter shade represents the lower population density in fi 108. (b) Administrative limitations: Shading often follow the administrative boundaries, as most of the data displayed by this method are available according, to administrative units. The choropleth maps display spatial density variation according to administrative units like country wise world distribution maps, state national distribution maps and district wise state wise distribution maps and so on. (¢) Tool of human geographers: This method is mostly used by scholars of human geography in order to represent the elements such as per unit area of242 INDIA | Dudhwa National Park 290a | erage number oF PerCeMaBe value ete, In the choropleth method i well-suited ation of the density of population, per p produto, total land rato, per capita a eording to Monkhouse (1960), fisopleth (oo for ameteorologist, then choroplth 0 valent to human geoeraphers in terms of ee epesentation of population characteriss, tte Choropleth Mapping onthe compiled or given data, the following Me owed to draw a choropleth map: jit ME a |.

Therefore, this method is also known as Absolute Ratio ‘method, Dot method is particularly useful in population concentration and distribution maps. The number and value of a single dot represents the distribution or density ofthe element or an object inthe area 1. Determining the Value of Dot: The value ofthe otis determined by the map’s scale, the range of data, And the type of element displayed. The value ofa dots, large fora map made on small scale whereas the value of dots small ona large scale map. 2. Determining the Numbers of Dots: After determining the value of a dot, the number of dots for ‘ach administrative unit is determined, The number of dots in an area to show distribution of a particular ¢lement is determined by dividing the total number of the said element by the Value of one dot, The total number of dots ina unt area: Total number ofthe element in the area * Value of one dot 2, Determining the Size of Dots: The size ofthe Got shouldbe detemined considering the sine of the ‘map.
