A topographic map is a detailed representation of the Earth’s surface, showing natural and man-made features. Contour lines indicate elevation changes, allowing for the measurement of mountain heights and slope steepness. These maps include symbols for various features like streets, buildings, and vegetation, with color-coded lines and points representing different types of information. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) produces these maps, ensuring accuracy and detail for users.
