Isopleth maps are used when representing a continuous variable. The data points are conceptual in that they are collected over an area rather than point locations. This type of map is convenient for displaying gradual change over an area. This map conveys the gradual differences of pH from acid rain in 1998. The east side of the United States may have a lower concentration of hydrogen ions, meaning more acidic, due to the industrial factories.
