For instance, maps of the food products produced by various regions, or usage of energy. I honestly don't know where I got the term, and I can't find a definition anywhere. I suppose that it's a relict of 5th grade geography class (which was much longer ago than I like to remember). The closest term I can find is "special-subject map". Is that familiar? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: USE THIS ADDRESS TO REPLY, REPLY-TO IN HEADER MAY BE BROKEN!
