A contour map with contour lines.

A contour plot (also contour map) is a graphic representation of the relationships among three numeric variables in two dimensions. Two variables are for X and Y axes, and a third variable Z is for contour levels. The contour levels are plotted as curves; the area between curves can be color coded to indicate interpolated values. [1]

Types of contour plots

Meteorology Maps

The map shows the analysis of the weather condition. The isobars represent lines of constant barometric pressure.
