Flow Map


http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/freight_analysis/nat_freight_stats/tonhwyrrww2007.htm

This is an example of a Flow Map because it uses lines to show movement of certain subjects. For instance, this image represents the annual freight tonnage by seperate modes like the National Highway System, U.S. Class I Railroad, and Inland Waterways. The thickness of the lines also helps readers to determine where the most flow takes place.
