Continuously variable proportional circle map.

https://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog486/book/export/html/1796Minard's proportional symbol map
Continuously variable proportional maps represent the distribution of a certain amount of variables and how they're proportioned throughout a region. The numbers in these types of maps are not quantized and often have different color circles for accurate representation. The map above shows each circle representing the proportion of different types of meat sent to Paris from France.
