Above shown is known as an Isobar map, this map type uses lines to represent atmospheric pressure that is portrayed on a meteorological map. Each line overlays a particular pressure amount, using the values indicated for that point, meteorologists are able to read and determine pressure systems from this map. This particular map shows western South Dakota and a portion of Wyoming,  this was constructed on May 6th, 1999.  In this pressure system, each isobar represents a 4mb pressure difference.
