Continuously Variable Proportional Circle Map


https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog486/book/export/html/1796

Continuously variable proportion circle maps use circles to symbolize to represent a phenomenon in a specific region.  In this case the map above shows the motor vehicle deaths in the state of California.  According to the scale the greater the size of the circle the more deaths in that region and the smaller the circle the lower amount of fatalities there were.  The circles are not completely accurate but gives a good understanding the amount of motor vehicle deaths occurred in that area.
