This is a statistical map. A statistical map is a type of map that communicate relative scaling of map properties, such as distances that are relative to properties other than physical distance. This map represents Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812. The size of Napoleon’s army is shown by the width of the lines of advance (green) and retreat (gold). The retreat information is correlated with a temperature scale shown along the lower portion of the map. This map was published by Charles Minard in 1869.
