Cartographic Skills, Lab 9: Isometric Mapping

 Isohyet map of average annual precipitation in Georgia.

This is an isometric map depicting the average annual precipitation in Georgia.  Using the data from NOAA and the Southeast Regional Climate Center, I determined where the isohyet lines should go and what/how they should be labeled.  I solely used Illustrator for this map and created the north arrow and legend by hand.  I used tick marks to show where there was a decrease in precipitation compared to the surrounding areas.  I was able to have a lot of creative freedom when making this map and learned a bit about Isometric maps in the process.  These kinds of maps are useful to show trends or continuous phenomena that are happening across an expansive area.
