Proportional Circle Maps

http://personal.frostburg.edu/mtmaier0/maps.htm

A proportional circle map is basically just a thematic map that uses circles to represent a value for a certain geographic region.  The circles usually vary in size and represent different values.  The map above is a proportional circle map that is measuring the amount of traffic fatalities in the United States by state for the year 2009.  The larger the circles, the more fatalities occurred in that specific state.
