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.
A map is a flat model of all or part of Earthâs surface drawn to a specific scale. A map is a model of the real world. The better maps communicate information, the more effective they are as a model. Topographic maps show elevation of landforms above sea level. Bathymetric maps show depths of landforms below sea level. Topographic elevations and the bathymetric depths are often shown with contour lines. A contour line is a line on a map representing a corresponding imaginary line on the surface of the land or bottom of the sea that has the same elevation or depth along its entire length.
