Isopleths

Isopleth map showing toxic chemical concentrations in Jacksonville, Florida.

Isopleths are used when classes and numerical descriptions can't be used to describe data. Isopleths are contour lines that connect areas with equal values. In the map above of Jacksonville, the lines connect areas with equal amounts of toxic chemical wastes. These maps are good for describing data visually.
