Thematic maps is more of a genre of map rather than a particular type. It is any type of map that has particular theme associated with the geographical area displayed. For example, a map displaying the levels of pH surrounding a chain of ancient volcanoes could be considered to have the theme of vulcanism, and would be useful to vulcanologist. This particular map displays the land reserves on Hawaii and could be considered to have a civic theme as it is useful for policy making.
