An Isobar Map, which is a variation of an isoline map, uses lines to connect points of equal atmospheric pressure.  The distance between isobars indicates the barometric gradient across the region and these maps are also useful in determining certain weather conditions.  The image above is an Isobar map of the United States and display information about differing atmospheric pressures.
