unstandardized chloropleth map
Unstandardized chloropleth maps are unranked. There is not one unit that is higher than another. In this way it is a type of nominal area chloropleth map because nominal data is naturally unordered. This is where I found the image.

A nominal area chloropleth map is a chloropleth map that displays nominal data. Here is where I found the image.
Bivariate map
A bivariate map displays two variables on a single map by combining two different sets of graphic symbols or colors. Here is where I found the image.
