Isopleths

   
     This particular map is an isopleth map; an isopleth is a line drawn on a map through all points of equal value of some measurable quantity. They generalize and simplify data with a continuous distribution. This isopleth map shows the hydrogen ion concentration made at field laboratories. As you can see, the ph is a lot higher on the western part of the US and extremely low in the north eastern part.
