Paper 2 · June 2004 · Population Geography

In presenting migration survey results, a map that uses arrows to show the origins and directions of people moving into a town is called a:

ADot map showing population distribution by dot count
BFlow map of migrant origins and directions
CIsoline map showing travel-time contours around the town
DChoropleth map showing settlement density by shaded zones

Explanation

A flow map uses arrows, often varying in width, to show the origin and direction of movement, which is exactly what is needed to display where migrants have come from and the routes of their movement into a town. Choropleth maps, dot maps and isoline maps display density, distribution and continuous surfaces respectively, not directional movement between places.
