Isopach Map

pubs.usgs.gov/.../USGS_3D/ssx_txt/petrol.htm

An isopach is a line on a map drawn through points of equal thickness of a certain unit of area. The above map is from a oil field in Powder River Basin, in Wyoming and Montana. The map shows the amounts of a certain type of Sandstone called Sussex "B".
