Isopach

http://www.geo.utexas.edu/faculty/barker/kempter/rbtephra.html

Isopach maps use contour lines to represent thickness over a specific area. The above is an example of an eruption of the Rio Blanco tephra. The tephra is an airfall deposit that ranges in thickness. This map  uses a symbol,  + , to indicate where the airfall is the thickness over the specific area.
