This is an example of a Isoline map which uses contour lines (isolines) to represent a third variable. It is a type of hypsometric map where the contours are imaginary lines that join equal point values. This is also a topographic (terrestrial elevation map) which uses the contour lines to show the shape and elevation of the land. By reading the lines a map reader can determine locations of valleys, hills and cliffs to name a few.
