The image is a map of various counties within the Appalachian region of the United States, including sections of states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and others up to New York. Counties are color-coded based on the percentage of adult literacy, with a focus on adults reading at or below the 8th-grade level. The color gradient ranges from red (indicating higher percentages of low literacy, up to 88.1%) to green (indicating lower percentages, at 36.5%). A color key on the right side accompanies the map, clarifying the percentage range each color represents. The map background is a simple gray outline of the United States, focusing on the Appalachian region. At the bottom, there is the logo of the Appalachian Learning Initiative along with contact information and social media icons. The data source is marked as the National Center for Education Statistics, 2020.

The image features an artistic sunset landscape with a warm color palette of oranges, browns, and yellows. In the foreground, a large conifer tree stands silhouetted against the sky. The background shows rolling hills fading into the distance with the sun setting near the horizon, casting a soft glow. Birds are silhouetted flying in the sky. The scene is overlaid with bold white text promoting a survey related to adult education services in Appalachia. The bottom left corner displays the APPLI logo, and a QR code is adjacent to the survey link. The bottom right corner features "Follow us" followed by social media icons.

The image features a multicolored map of the Appalachian region outlined by state borders on a gradient background transitioning from blue on the left to orange on the right. The map highlights specific counties within the region, each shaded in various colors including blue, red, orange, and beige. To the left is large white text stating, "Help Us Build the Appalachian Adult Education Directory." Below the map is a white link in large font: "https://cutt.ly/APPLI-Adult-Ed-Survey."

The title "Poverty in Maryland" is at the top right, alongside the Appalachian Learning Initiative logo, which includes a stylized bridge. Below the logo, website information and the text "American Community Survey, 2024" are displayed. On the left, three circular statistics are shown: Top left - a graphic of a figure with a sack next to "20.9%" indicating the percentage of households in Maryland's Appalachian counties earning less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level. Center left - an icon of a government building next to "16.3%" showing the percentage of residents receiving public assistance. Bottom left - an icon of three people next to "14.7%" showing the percentage of children living in poverty. A photograph in the bottom left corner shows people holding a sign that reads "FIGHT POVERTY NOT THE POOR" with the Capitol building in the background. Social media icons are at the bottom right with the handle "@APPLIORG."

The image is a map highlighting poverty rates in Maryland's Appalachian counties with a title at the top reading "Poverty in Maryland."
