AB - Charles Joseph Minard is known as the most creative mapmaker of the nineteenth century. But research on his maps are scarcely done in cartographic domain. The objective of this paper is to investigate the cartographic characteristics of maps of Minard and their influence on the development of thematic mapping. For this, this paper begins by considering the development background of the first half of the nineteenth century thematic cartography. Minard’s figurative and approximative maps were intended for French national land policy decision-making, so they were produced to convey general message rather than cartographic accuracy. Secondly, cartographic representation techniques of flow map, choropleth map, proportional symbol map, and Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign were examined. Thirdly, The influence of his mapping style on thematic maps and geovisualization were considered. He is considered as the developer of flow map and pie-chart map. His mapping style was adopted by the statistical atlases of France.
