These types of ideas fall into the realm of critical cartography, constructing space and creating ideas that influence the way we see the world. Propaganda is therefore a matter of opinion, but using the definition broadly any map promoting Florida tourism can be seen as propaganda. Although, I'm sure no one that works in the tourism industry sees it quite that way. The Florida map I selected is one that you could classify as propaganda. It has dolphins, palms trees and all the great thing about the state and none of the bad. So this is definitely pushing an idea of Florida being a great place to visit, with tons of activities and locations to enjoy.
