What is a topographic Map and what does it show you on it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_maps
A topographic map is a detailed and accurate representation of a specific area's surface features, such as hills, valleys, mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and man-made structures. These maps use contour lines to depict the elevation and shape of the terrain. The spacing between the contour lines indicates the steepness of the slopes.
Topographic maps also provide various other information such as roads, buildings, cities, land boundaries, vegetation types, and sometimes even underground features like mines or caves. These maps are designed to give a comprehensive understanding of the physical characteristics of a particular area.
To access a topographic map, you can either visit a physical map library, use mapping software or online map platforms like Google Maps or Bing Maps, or consult government websites that provide access to topographic maps. Additionally, you can purchase topographic maps from specialist retailers or directly from government agencies responsible for mapping in your country.
