 Functional Regions This map shows the different population densities in Latin America. Functional regions are defined by their connections. For functional region maps, certain mediums extend and diminish over a distance. Such, this population density map has extreme areas where population is the most dense from spanish and portuguese settlements that remain popular today. They diminish as they extend further and further out. Thus, this map can be an example of a functional region map.

 Vernacular Regions Latin America This map is largely based on a mental picture making it a vernacular map. This map is Darcy Ribeiros classification of Latin American countries as "Transplanted peoples" (Blue), "New Peoples" (Red) and "Testimony Peoples" (Yellow). This is an opinionated map thus the borders can always be altered in different peoples' minds.

Mexico This map of Mexico can be defined as a vernacular regional map simply because it depicts different regions within the area using vague terms such as northeast and west. These borderlines are actually often disputed.

South America This map of South America shows the vernacular regions of the continent simply with indefinite terms. These borders lines are often a mental picture that we cannot draw out on the ground. Different maps have similar but may have slight changes within this map.
