The description you provided suggests that the map represents population distribution among different regions, which is typically done using specific map types. Based on common mapping techniques:
- **Choropleth maps** use different colors or shading to represent the value of a variable, like population density, across predefined geographic areas.
- **Dot density maps** use dots to represent a quantity in an area, giving a visual sense of where a population may be concentrated.
- **Graduated point maps** use symbols of varying size to represent the magnitude of a variable at specific locations.
- **Graduated density maps** indicate a variable's density across an area, typically using varying shades or symbols, but can be less common terminology.
Given your focus on population distribution by region, if the map uses shading or colors to depict the population levels, it would likely be classified as a **choropleth map**. If it uses dots, it would be a **dot density map**.
If you provide more specific details about how the map is designed, I could give a more accurate classification. However, for population distribution by region, a **choropleth map** is the most common type.
