Isopleth
This isopleth map shows hydrogen ion concentration made at field laboratories. On the west, the ph is high and on the eastern side, the ph is low. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV66nVhTm_xmykJ-VS05J7x0ftHoxiAqHZOQ3EsB4-sWUROdksdhu7HoImnUxPce10odleNmdX4Kfdj3eNTUrY8fqTYsc7dz50S0WRuNjs5gKp4oZfRvsVk4YjFP6J1OpealzMs1vTCpN5/s1600/isopleths.png

This is an isopach map displays a small gas field showing how the type of ground and how thick it is. Raw material is obtained by going through the ground so it is important to know how thick it is.
Isohyets
This map shows areas of equal rainfall by its contour lines. Therefore it is an Isohyet map.
Isotach
This is a map showing wind blowing across the U.S. towards New York/New England area. It is an isotach because the lines are connecting points with equal wind speed.
Isobars
This is a map showing closed isobars around a low pressure cell. This means that the air is rising and there is likely to be clouds, rain, and strong winds.
LIDAR
This is a Light Detection And Ranging image of lower Manhattan. You can see the different elevations of the buildings.
Doppler Radar
This is a doppler radar image of the Florida-Bahamas ocean area. It shows general motions of precipitation.
DEM
This is a digital elevation model of the moon. It shows a 3D representation of the moon's surface. You can see craters on the moon depicted by different colors.

Black & white aerial photo
This is a black and white aerial photo of an airplane runway in Boston.
Infrared aerial photo
This is an infared aerial photo of a forest in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The picture is an example of an infared aerial photo in which color is used.
Cartographic Animation
Cartographic animations have evolved with the use of technology. They are used to demonstrate a temporal change. This is a cartographic animation of Hurricane Katrina and how it was moving towards the U.S.
Statistical Map
This is a Statistical Map of the Obama vs. McCain 2008 election. It represents each state as being either statistically democratic, republican, or undecided by using colors and a numbered scale.
Cartogram
This is a cartogram of the world's relative population. The map is distorted to show the size of the population in each country. According to this map, China and India seem to have the largest population.
Flow map
Flow maps are used to show movement of objects from one place to another such as the movement of people out of or into a country. This is a flow map of the labor migration in the Greater Mekong Subregion.
