Halley was the first cartographer to use isolines (lines of equal value) on a published map in 1689. Robinson, Mercator, and Lambert all made significant contributions to cartography, but they were not the first to use isolines on a map. Aristotle, while a great philosopher, did not make significant contributions to cartography.
