Isoline Map

Isoline Map


Isoline maps use contour lines to join points of the same value. Often times, these lines represent areas of equal rainfall, altitude, wind direction, and barometric pressure among other things. In the map below, isolines are used to indicate average annual precipitation in the state of New York over the past 25 years, the numbers on the isolines represent the rainfall in inches per year.
