Isoline Map

An Isoline Map is a map with continuous lines that are conected from dots which represent the data that is trying to be portrayed.  The lines often times represent contour lines, but they can also represent many other things such as climate, boundaries, and in this case, rainfall.  The lines in this map of New York represent different inches of rainfall for each area inside the lines.
