A topographic map is a map type known for large-scale detail and representation of relief usually with contour lines. A topographic map is traditionally known with representing natural and man-made features. A topographic map is typically made in a series of prints so that when put together a larger map can be constructed. The image used as an example above is a section of the United States Geological Survey, particularly of the Cooper Rocks State Forest.
