Olympic Games Medal Count Map
This is a brilliant animated map sequence from the New York Times that visualises which countries have won Olympic medals over the last 100 years. A great demonstration of a topological map as it disregards the traditional way of showing maps to scale and detail in the interest of clarity of communicating relational information. The London Underground is another topological such map.
