Topographic Map



A topographic map is a land map.  "The feature that most distinguishes topographic maps from maps of other types is the use of contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the land. Topographic maps render the three-dimensional ups and downs of the terrain on a two-dimensional surface."  The above map is of Yellowstone National Park.
