Isobars are an extremely useful tool in meteorology.  They connect areas across a country with similar or with equal atmospheric pressure by outlining it with isobar lines.  In the image above you can easily identify regions that have high or low atmospheric with the labels L and H.  The image also shows areas that will have potential rain or snow fall.
