Isoline Maps

Advantages

  • Shows gradual change and patterns over a large spatial area
  • Lines join places of equal values along their length
  • Uses fixed intervals so changes can be easily identified
  • Can add colour/density shading to enhance patterns/trend
  • Can be superimposed onto a base map

Disadvantages

  • There can be variations in the location of each isoline
  • The shading implies equal values between the isolines
  • Requires data for a large number of locations
