Topographic




http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/lewis/chftopo.jpg

A topographic map shows elevation of both man-made and natural structures. This map is the umbrella in which other maps showing elevation fall under. The image above uses contour lines to show the elevation of a certain region and trail on the Rocky National Park. As you can see, another aspect of this map deals with a layer of the map that shows positioning of features and another that deals with the aspect of elevation.
