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.
Other authors define topographic maps by contrasting them with another type of map; they are distinguished from smaller-scale chorographic maps that cover large regions, planimetric maps that do not show elevations, and thematic maps that focus on specific topics.
