Isopleth Maps



An Isopleth map is a map that simplifies information about a region by showing areas with continuous distribution. Isopleth maps can use lines to show areas where elevation, temperature, rainfall, or some other quality is the same. Isopleths may also use color to show regions where some quality is the same. This map is an Isopleth map because it uses color to show different regions with the same quality to describe total precipitation.
