Isohyet Map

Above is an Isohyet map. Isohyet maps like all "Iso" maps have contour lines of equal value. With isohyet maps these contour lines show the rainfall densities of a certain area. The map above shows the flooding of Fort Collins Colorado. This picture was from a flooding in July of 1997. My sister actually lives there now so I thought it was cool I found this photo!
