A Statistical map provides statistical information in a graphic medium through color and shading to express changes in a variable. In the above picture the size of Napoleon's army is shown by the dwindling width of the lines of advance (green) and retreat (gold). The retreat information is correlated with a temperature scale shown along the lower portion of the map. Published by Charles Minard in 1869. This image was found on the Brittanica website.
