Another type of weather map, an Isohyet Map portrays the average precipitation of a given geographical location (region) through the use of isohyet lines, or lines that connect points of equal precipitation on a map. This particular map shows the seasonal precipitation of Burkina Faso in 1992. The map is very basic, and points only the 138 rainfall stations, as well as the 'ground truth location.' This map is used in a paper that discusses the correlation between the areas with most rainfall and the areas with the most vegetation.
