Isoline Maps


An isoline map is a map that uses continuous lines to connect points of equal value.  These maps are great at measuring altitude, temperature(like the one above), wind direction, pressure, wind speed, and more.  Here the map uses isolines to show the different temperatures across the U.S. and groups the areas of similar temperature.  Sometimes these maps can show two or three different measurements like sea level pressure with temperature at the same time.
