Pictograph - New York

http://www.eriecanal.org/maps.html
The following map is called a pictograph.  This map combines some of the features of a planimetric map in the way that it can show boundaries but it also depicts what is in those bounded areas with more images.  Normally, these images include certain characteristics that are well known for an area.  For example, this map of New York State shows well known buildings and waterways.
