Isopach

The map shown above is an isopach map. The purpose of this type of map is to show the difference in thickness within a tabular unit. Isopachs are similar to isohyets and isotachs in the sense that each line represents areas of equal value, although in the case of isopach maps, those lines represent thickness over an area.
