A thematic map...

For a thematic map, I used John Snow's cholera map. I thought that since this was one of the earliest versions of this type of map it was well suited for my catalog.

A topographic map...

This is a topographic map of South America, primarily focusing on Brazil. Of all of the types of topographic maps, I prefer those that visually represent geological landmarks
