Choropleth maps are tools used to show and distribute data areally. Usually, areas are defined by boundaries such as states, provinces, counties, etc. This particular map is showing the population in each of eight separate "territories" that divide Australia. The sections are distinguishable by color. Where each of the boundaries exist, the data from the study is cut off as well. In this population study, it becomes clear that the population of Australia does not correlate with the size of the territory, as the largest does not house the most people.
