Isoline Map



Isoline maps are a 2D represenation of a 3D map, through the use of contour lines. The bottom map uses contour lines to illustrate the elevation of the top image. The tops of the hills are shown in 2D through the circular contour lines. This map was taken from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Contour_map_(PSF).png.
