Isobar maps use lines to show areas with the same atmospheric pressure. Meteorology uses Isobar maps a lot when talking about high and low pressure systems. When the lines are closer together it means that there is a large drop off in air pressure over a short area. This map from NOAA shows the Continental United States and areas of High Pressure Kansas City, and areas with low pressure along the Appalachia Mountains.
