Bathymetric Map

A Bathymetric Map is a map that accurately depicts all of the various depths of a water body. A bathymetric map or chart usually shows floor relief or terrain as contour lines (called depth contours or isobaths), and may additionally provide surface navigational information. Color-coding to show the different depths of water is a common methodology used in bathymetric maps.
