After extensive searching, I have located an isoline map of significance. Historical and national significance, at that. Norwigian scientist Christopher Hansteen was honored by his native land with a stamp commemorating his pioneering work toward mapping the earth's magnetic fields.
Despite generalized lines, it is a very nice map that provokes thoughts, questions, and inevitable Googling.
The Nobel Prize is a big deal, but a stamp is immortality. It provides a more accessible legacy for the masses.
