Isohyets


An isohyet is another style of contour map. Instead of relief, which normal contour maps represent, isohyets are lines that represent rainfall statictics.  The map above is the 40 year isohyet average in the United States from 1973. The lines connect points that have the same amount of rainfall as each other.
