Isarithmic Mapping Module 9



This week I learned about Isarithmic Maps. Isarithmic maps are also known as contour maps or isopleth maps depict smooth continuous phenomena such as precipitation or elevation. Each line-bounded area on this type of map represents a region with the same value. For example, on an elevation map, each elevation line indicates an area at the listed elevation. 

On Both maps I added contour lines to help delineate were the values changed for each step. To create the contour lines I used the spatial analysis tool.
