Flow Map


The map shown above is an example of a flow map. Flow maps show the movement of entities across the earth's surface.The paths of the entities are usually generalized, and give a direction of the entities, not its exact path. Flow maps are also able to show the intensity of the entities, depending on what they are. The map above shows the movement of quarterbacks across the country, depicting the origin in red and the college team in blue. Arrows are also being used to depict the quarterback's destination. This kind of map is good for describing the power of a location.
