Map with legend

A legend is the map’s key — it tells the reader what the colors mean. Here the counties are shaded by population, with a legend and a short description alongside, the way a finished thematic map is usually presented.

Legend — 2020 Population


A simple map of the Hawaiian Islands’ five counties, shaded lightest to darkest by resident population.
