Module 6 Isarithmic Mapping


 In this lab we worked with Isarithic Maps. More specifically we created a map that showed the annual precipitation and how it relates to elevation in the state of Washington. This was done using the PRISM model created by Oregon State University that is able to accurately create a grid out of the study area and use digital elevation models to fill in the each grid location to create map like the one I created above. In addition we use hypsometric tinting and continuous tone to show the elevation and its effects on the study area with contour lines clearly separating the zones.
