Mapographic (n)
A map covering areas such as regions, states, countries, or even the entire world that conveys - using only graphics and minimal text - quite complex data in a very simple and understandable way.
It is essentially an 'infographic', but it is in the form of a map, showing the 'where' as well at the 'what'.
