In modern mapping, a topographic map is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually now using contour lines, but historically using a variety of methods.Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and man-made features. topographic map is typically published as a map series, made up of two or more map sheets that combine to form the whole map. A contour line is a line connecting places of equal elevation.
Ordnance Survey mapping is usually classified as either large-scale (in other words, more detailed) or small-scale. The Survey's large-scale mapping comprises maps at six inches to the mile or more (1:10,560 superseded by 1:10,000 in the 1950s) and was available as sheets until the 1980s, when it was digitised.
