Because Contour maps are a type of hypsometric map it makes sense to use similar maps from my last entry to show the similarities and differences between the two. This contour map is similar to a hypsometric map because it is showing information on a third dimension, the time it takes to travel by rail in England. This map uses both colors and contour lines to represent the third dimension. The author of this website calls these contour lines isochrones. The lines represent one hour of time.
