Topographic Map

Topographic Map 
Topographic maps show the elevation of the earths surface through the use of lines.  The distance between the lines represents the steepness of slopes and depressions.  The closer the lines are to one another the steeper the slope is.  These maps are usually highly detailed and in large scale, which creates large maps that cover numerous sheets of paper.
