Plotting Matrix Columns with Colorbar

I have an array that is long in one dimension and short in another, let's say 50 x 5000. Each of the 50 rows is a point in space and each of the 5000 columns is a time. I would like to plot isochrones as so:
X = 50;
T = 5000;
x = 0:X;
t = 0:T;
M = somefun(x,t);
plot(M(:,1234),x);
However, I would like to plot many irregularly- (logarithmically?) spaced columns and would like to color them with increasing time and provide a corresponding colorbar. I can think of several ways to brute-force this, but I suspect that there is a simple way that I am missing.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How about this approach?
x = 0:.05:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
z = zeros(size(x));
col = x; % This is the color, vary with x in this case.
surf([x;x],[y;y],[z;z],[col;col],...
'facecol','no',...
'edgecol','interp',...
'linew',5);
colorbar

Thanks for the response, but I am not sure this is exactly what I want. I'd like to have each column of the array plotted as a different color corresponding to a colorbar of (essentially) increasing column index. Maybe I need to build my array in a different way?
Give same value for each column and use surf.
I'm not sure surf will get me what I want -- here's a cartoon of what I am looking for. Does this make sense?
