thematic maps edit
- http://www.princeton.edu/~shawatw/classifi.html -- Library of Congress classification system (Library of Congress Classification (P1149))
- "The thematic maps are further classified on the basis of topics. They are broadly divided into seventeen classes, with a different letter for each group. These groups are further subdivided on the basis of more detailed topics. For example, a Physical Map of North America will be classified as G; 3291 .C2, whereas a Geological Map of North America will be classified as G;3291 .C5. Both of the maps are part of one theme, that is, physical science, however, they are also subdivided by more detailed topics. The thematic classification scheme can be used in conjunction with other subclassifications. Examples of these groups will be discussed later in this paper. Below is a listing of major classifications of thematic maps:"
- A - Special categories
- B - Mathematical geography
- C - Physical sciences
- D - Biogeography
- E - Human and cultural geography. Anthropogeography. Human ecology.
- F - Political geography
- G - Economic geography
- H - Mines and mineral resources
- J - Agriculture
- K - Forests and forestry
- L - Aquatic biological resources
- M - Manufacturing and processing. Service industries.
- N - Technology. Engineering. Public works.
- P - Transportation and communication
- Q - Commerce and trade. Finance
- R - Military and naval geography
- S - Historical geography
