The interactive map key
On each thematic map, a one-, two-, or three-column map key can be found next to the circular map.
To browse the map, point to illustrations with your mouse. This will show you their names and categories, and highlight the corresponding items on the key.
By default, all map key items are activated and their illustrations appear on the map.
You can select or hide items on the map in any combination, or choose to select or hide them all. Clicking on an individual button in the key will hide its illustration on the map and make that button go gray. To make the illustration reappear on the map, click the grayed-out button in the key. Clicking on the “Hide all” or “View all” button will hide or activate all features at the same time.
