Unstandardized Choropleth Map


Unstandardized maps are obviously choropleth maps that are unordered, in other words, they display information cannot be ranked; no category is higher or lower than another. I found this map to be interesting because of the topic that it measures is pretty funny and that is generic names for soft drinks. The term “pop” clearly dominates the map and takes over half of the country in the north. The term “coke” is used in the majority of the south excluding all of California and Arizona, and the southern half of Nevada. California, Arizona, southern half of Nevada, and the northeast corner of the country call soft drinks soda. In addition, there is the other category that is very sparse in the country which only triggers my curiosity on what else could you possibly name a soft drink?
